THE OPPOSITION WILL NOT BE DEPRIVED OF MANDATES

The issue of depriving the oppositional deputies of mandates because of
absentees will not be included in the in the agenda of the RA NA fall
session which will start on September 12. This decision was made today by
the NA Standing Committee on State and Legal Affairs.

There is a possibility that the Parliamentary majority has been careful in
this respect in order not to provoke tension in the Parliament. Information
has been received from the opposition field that the opposition deputies
discuss the possibility of stopping the boycott and returning t the
Parliament.

the decision of the NA Standing Committee on State and Legal Affairs is
accounted for by the fact that the issue was included in the agenda of the
previous NA session but it was not discussed.
