YEREVAN, APRIL 12, ARMENPRESS. The opposition Hayastan faction of parliament called for a parliamentary discussion with the leadership of the military or other authorized officials over the situation resulting from the April 11 Azerbaijani attack on Armenian troops.

“Although some of our Members of Parliament are now in Syunik province, we have an offer to the leadership of the parliament, summon the leadership of the military or authorized officials to have a discussion with lawmakers during the day, in order to also understand the situation in terms of what the parliament ought to do,” Hayastan faction Secretary Artsvik Minasyan said.

Vice Speaker Ruben Rubinyan told Minasyan that if they prefer an open format discussion, then their questions can be addressed to the Cabinet members during the upcoming question time. Rubinyan said he will speak with the relevant agencies if the opposition wants a closed-format meeting.

Rubinyan and Minasyan agreed to discuss the matter.

On April 11, Armenian troops carrying out engineering works near the village of Tegh close to the border with Azerbaijan came under heavy gunfire in an unprovoked attack. Four Armenian soldiers were killed and six wounded.
