NA SPEAKER RECEIVES MASS MEDIA REPRESENTATIVES
Support A1+!Today the Speaker of the National Assembly received Armenian reporters who have covered the activity of the Armenian Parliament all year round. One could see all representatives of mass media except for ALM Holding President Tigran Karapetian.
“I wish all of us fruitful collaboration, tolerance, boldness to praise the good and the evil and partnership for the sake of the country. Despite our preferences, Armenia is our homeland and we must do our utmost to live a dignified life,” the Speaker of the National Assembly Tigran Torossian said in his addressing speech.
He urged MPs and reporters to forgive each other and to begin the year with solidarity.
“I think that people shouldn't connect their shortcomings with the signs of the zodiac. I wish the upcoming elections were compliant with international standards.”
The NA Speaker found pointless to enumerate all achievements of the passing year. “Nothing extraordinary has happened this year. I pointed out Andranik Margarian's premature decease. As for the first president's return to politics, Tigran Torossian said, “I cannot give any assessments. It is unreasonable to nurse great hopes from the elections after ten years' silence.”
The editor of “De Facto” magazine Merujan Ter-Gulanian considers the greatest swinish trick “denigration at the pre-election period.”
“I anticipate tense struggle, vote tampering, protest rallies and outside pressure at the first three months of 2008. Then passions will calm down, and we should have to think of different articles to entertain readers,” editor of “Azg” Hakob Avetikian said.
