TOROSYAN’S “BURDEN IS HEAVY”
Support A1+!TIGRAN TOROSYAN IS LOOKING FOR A SUBSTITUTOR
NA Speaker Tigran Torosyan wants to resign from the post of the PACE RA delegation head as he thinks there are “certain problems the solution of which is connected with his stay in Armenia.”
Then he adds that “there is another matter of serious concern;” 4 reports on Armenia will be heard in the PACE, starting from the NKR conflict and ending with the issue of our liabilities. “We must realize whom we appoint and who is to take that heavy burden on his shoulders.” By the way, the head of the delegation is appointed by the NA Speaker that’s to say by Tigran Torosyan.
No question connected with Armenia will be discussed during the June session of PACE but as Torosyan claims “the Azerbaijanis will somehow connect the matters concerning them with Karabakh and Armenia.” “It is their business, but we must be ready for everything,” said NA Speaker Tigran Torosyan during his first press release. The issue of the Azeri liabilities will be discussed at the coming session in connection with the May parliamentary reelections. The session of Standing Committee on the Karabakh issue will be convened during the PACE June session during which Torosyan’s suggestion to change the format of the committee will likely be affirmed and the committee members will be reduced as a result.
TURKS WILL BE TURKS
“Turkey doesn’t respect the principles professed by the country and on the bases of these principles the country wants to integrate into the European family completely,” maintains NA Speaker. An excellent testify to it is yesterday’s incident when eggs were thrown at the cars meeting the Catholicos of All Armenians in Istanbul.
“The issue of religious freedom will be put on the agenda of the forthcoming PACE session and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoghan is to make a speech. I wonder how he will comment on this situation. This action characterizes the Turks and has nothing to do with the supreme Patriarch of All Armenians.”
TOROSYAN PREFFER SOCHI
None of the RA NA deputies will be present at the seminar organized by Rose Road on “Russia- NATO; security issues in South Caucasus” in the scope of NATO which will be convened in Sochi on June 22 – 24.
In Tigran Torosyan’s words this is conditioned by Mher Shageldyan’s resignation from the post of the RA delegation head in the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. At first NA Speaker learned about the resignation from the newspapers and then he got Mher Shageldyan’s application. The latter informed through the media that his resignation is to certain extent determined by the fact that Tigran Torosyan hindered his visit to the USA in the framework of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.
Today Mr. Torosyan informed that he attaches greater importance to the Sochi seminar as it will refer to the Karabakh issue.
