OPPOSITION PARLIAMENTARIANS LIKELY TO BE STRIPPED OF THEIR MANDATES

On Friday, Armenian National Assembly’s proper commission decided
to consider Ardarutyun and National Unity opposition fractions MPs’
abstentions unacceptable.

At the same time, constant absence of Levon Sargssyan, a well-known
tycoon, from parliamentary sessions was taken with clemency. It is
remarkable that he has appeared in National Assembly’s building only
two or three times since was elected as MP.

Another pro-governmental MP businessman Azat Petrossyan was also
survived the commission retraction.

The issue of stripping opposition lawmakers of their MP mandates will
be considered at the next session.
