"It is clear for all of us that the majority of NA deputies are deepening the created crisis with their actions. It is clear that this administration, particularly Serzh Sargsyan, faces the issue of legitimacy," said today at the NA podium Deputy Zaruhi Postanjyan stating that Mr. Sargsyan hasn't done anything to legitimize his power in the course of one year.

"An illegitimate president can not function independently, but even if Serzh Sargsyan was elected legitimately, he is responsible for solving our most urgent issues. Doesn't Serzh Sargsyan realize that the authorities are responsible for the events of March 1?" said Mrs. Postanjyan.

According to her, the only thing that Serzh Sargsyan had to do in this situation was to declare amnesty. Postanjyan also touched upon NA Chairman Hovik Abrahamyan.

"Hovik Abrahamyan was elected without any alternative, just like the Azeri presidential elections. He could have restored the immunity of our deputies or at least not interfere in the work of the "Heritage" party."

Anahit Bakhshyan's statement was on the February 19 presidential elections and the aftermath.

"On the last day of the campaign Serzh Sargsyan apologized for all the sufferings that the careless government officials had caused the people, but that includes the tragedy of October 27 when Serzh Sargsyan was Defense Minister and the state was in turmoil. The same people applied force on March 1 last year against the people who dared to speak out against the falsified elections, stealing votes and the false apology."

In defense of the authorities, Deputy Sukias Avetisyan said:

"The legitimate authorities are doing their best to extenuate the social tension with their anti-crisis plans and I would like to draw the government's attention to the unemployment in the Shirak Marz."

The statements of other pro-government deputies were dedicated to agricultural issues.
