PARLIAMENT DISCUSSES BILL ON ALIENATED PROPERTY

The parliament finished the discussion on the Law on Alienation of
Property for Public and State Needs but it was not put on vote. As
usual, it was postponed because there were not enough deputies at the
session hall.

Rafik Petrosyan, chairman of state and legal issues committee, said
sometimes provisions are taken out from bills but in the next reading
the same provision appears. Similarly, Petrosyan said article 18
should have been excluded from the bill but it happened to appear in
the submitted draft. The provision says that all the decisions taken
before are not subject for change.

Justice Minister Davit Harutunyan said all transitory provisions
should be excluded. However, article 18 fully supports the owners of
the alienated property so the government will keep them.

One of the key speakers, Vahan Hovhannisyan, vice speaker of
parliament, refused to make a speech saying he does not feel
well. /Panorama.am/

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
