BILLS VOTED DOWN
Support A1+!Today the National Assembly refused to put the draft bills on reviewing the restraint of detained or wanted MPs and annulling the decisions on the NA agenda. The bills were proposed by the Heritage faction.
“As the vote was open the deputies showed their true selves and true colours. It was an excellent exam for our parliamentarians,” Heritage Party MP Zaruhi Postanjian said to A1+.
To note, only 77 of the 113 registered deputie s participated in the vote. The bill was voted down with 15 votes in favour, 32 against and 30 abstentions.
It is due to mention that the ex Speaker of the National Assembly, Tigran Torossyan, who used to urge his fellow collagues to support the Prosecutor General’s mediation to change the restraint by detention today voted for the draft bill.
The bill was also supported by Victor Dallakyan, Hakob Hakobyan, Michael Vardanyan, Ara Nranyan, Armen Abrahamyan, Melik Manukyan and the Heritage faction.
“Today the National Assembly stood a good chance to correct its mistake. We tried to help our deputies to find a way out of this cul-de-sac, but they disregarded our advice. They think the harder they press, the better for them,” said Zaruhi Postanjyan.
Today the National Assembly rejected the involvement of draft amendments to the laws on “Electoral Code,” and “Meetings, Assemblies, Marches and Demonstrations” in the NA agenda.
“The amendments aimed to enhance democratic institutes but they were all rejected,” noted Zaruhi Postanjyan.
Note, the amendments had been proposed by the Heritage Party.
