EIGHTH SESSION OF NATIONAL ASSEMBLY KICKS OFF Eight session of
National Assembly kicked off today with Vahan Hovanisyan, the only
deputy speaker of the parliament, being 33 minutes late. By that time,
NA Speaker Tigran Torosyan read out the notice by Viktor Dallakyan and
Tatul Manaseryan saying they are leaving Justice Block. Independent
deputy Hmaiak Hovanisyan complained that he had not received session
agenda saying it is a result of "over lays off" at the parliament. He
said the staff discriminates between the deputies based on the party
affiliation. It turned out the Hmaiak Hovanisyan could not see the
agenda in front of him. Hmaiak Hovanisyan also proposed to find out
what is behind the devaluation of dollar calling it "cheating."
The parliament declined NA draft decision proposed by Justice block
on establishing an interim committee to study government’s activities
in civil aviation. Only 51 voted for the bill.
