The National Assembly of Armenia concluded today the spring
session. Before leaving on a summer vacation, the last sitting was
held today in the hall of sittings. Even on the last day the Deputies
did not refuse from the tradition of using insulting expressions.
Before the start of today’s work, some conflicts in the Parliament
found their expression through direct or circuitous abuses. The
newly elected Chairman of the National Assembly Tigran Torosyan had
to remind the Deputies who they are and where they are.
>>From the very beginning it became apparent that the NA Deputies
and the President of the Central Bank of Armenia Tigran Sargsyan
were on different sides of the barricade. The latter was not in the
Parliament today, but his yesterday’s statements served as a reason
for the conflict voiced by Secretary General of the "Justice" block
Viktor Dallakyan. In his words, the President of the Central Bank
publicly insulted the Parliament.
The irritation and position of the opposition Deputy were shared also
by Republican Hamlet Harutyunyan. Chairman Tigran Torosyan chose a
more delicate way to defend the colleagues. In Tigran Torosyan’s
words, this should serve as a motive for everyone to demonstrate
corresponding attitude toward the Parliament’s dignity, which should
find its expression in the statements in the speeches.
Nevertheless, the spring session of the National Assembly was over
today.
