Journalists follow NA sittings from monitors
Armenia's pressmen will henceforth follow the routine of the Armenian parliament (National Assembly) from two monitors placed in a NA corridor. Yet, journalists have access to the hall at any moment. Only the activity of cameramen is limited. They are allowed to work in the hall for half an hour before the sitting and have no right to shoot the sitting.
Head of the NA staff Gegham Gharibjanyan instructed the escort to ask the cameramen out of the hall before the sitting.
Working conditions are far from being ideal in the corridor, too. Mass media representatives complain of the recent innovation in the Armenian parliament. But they prefer discussing the issue with their directors first.
The National Assembly has already adopted the agenda for the four-day sitting. The Armenian parliamentarians will discuss the draft laws on amendments and supplements to the Criminal Code of Armenia, on the establishment of NA ad hoc Committee to inquire into the events of March 1-2 and their consequences, etc.
