In the beginning of December Parliament Vice Speaker Vahan Hovanisyan
partook in 2 grand measures â~@~S the sitting of Armenia-Russia
Inter-parliamentary Commission and the activity of CIS Commission on
Political and International Cooperation. Opposition MP Aram Gaspari
Sargssyan took part in the sitting, too.
During the sitting of Commission for Defence and Security Cooperation
of CIS Inter-parliamentary Assembly a few model laws, in particular
the Law on â~@~ Anti-Terrorismâ~@~] were discussed.
Taking into account his own experience, ARF representative has
explained CIS parliamentary colleagues the differences between
terrorism, separatism and extremism. Vahan Hovanisyan has explained
that terrorism is a crime while separatism can exist exceptionally
within law and extremism is a psychological state. â~@~These
conceptions must not be put on the same lineâ~@~], he said.
Aram Gaspari Sargssyan announced during the sitting of Armenia-Russia
Inter-parliamentary Commission that Russia must clarify its stance
over Karabakh. Vahan Hovanisyan didnâ~@~Yt join the statement since
he knows the position of Russia. â~@~If we want Russia to say that it
supports Armenia in Karabakhi issue, naturally, it wonâ~@~Yt be so. One
must not expect for anything from anyone. When people are forced to
speak, they have to avoid the concrete answersâ~@~], Hovanisyan says.
Vahan Hovanisyan also spoke about the relations with NATO. He thinks
the Russians feel somewhat of jealousy to the relations between
Armenia and NATO. But our delegation caused them to be informed that
the contacts with NATO are solely of consultative character.
