Why doesn't Safarian leave for Paris?
The press service of the Armenian National Assembly has released the following statement today:
"Yesterday Heritage member Stepan Safarian sent a letter to the Speaker of the National Assembly inquiring about the composition of the Armenian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Francophonie (APF).
In reply to NA MP Stepan Safarian's letter we inform that the Armenian delegation headed by Speaker Stepan Safarian leaves for the APF in an unusual composition. The delegation is comprised of Armen Rustamyan (ARF-Dashnaktsutiun) and Armen Melikian (Prosperous Armenia Party).
Delegation members Ara Babloyan (Republican Party of Armenia), Hovhannes Margarian (Country of Law) and Armen Melikian (Prosperous Armenia Party) and Stepan Safarian (Heritage) will not leave for Paris. Delegation Secretary Alissa Martirosian will join the group in Paris.
We would like to mention that the Armenian delegation participates in the APF sittings as an observer; hence the presence of all delegates is not obligatory."
