YEREVAN, October 4. /ARKA/. The fact that an issue of “frozen deposits”
of the Armsavingsbank was included on the agenda of the current 4-day
parliamentary session has utmost importance, Speaker of the Armenian
Parliament Arthur Baghdassaryan told journalists. He said that it is
the result of the “exclusive political consensus of all political
forces and independent parliamentarians”. He said that there were
attempts to compromise him and the party “Orinats Yerkir” headed
by him, but political consensus resulted in including this issue on
the agenda, as “this issue relates to 2.2mln people”. He said that
the atmosphere of solidarity and tolerance should be preserved for
final resolution of this issue. He also said that no one political
force tries to privatize this issue and it should be solved to avoid
future speculations.
He expressed confidence that the Republican Party of Armenia
will follow the agreements achieved, as they are clear, public and
indisputable. Baghdassaryan also pointed out that all necessary funds
will be provided by the state budget. A.A. -0–
