Armenian parliament adopts controversial bill on language
The Armenian parliament adopted Wednesday the draft law on making amendments and addenda to the RA Laws on Language and Public Education with 69 votes for, 1 against and no abstention.
The National Assembly also passed the draft law on State Pension.
Before putting the bills to the vote, head of ARF-Dashnaktsutyun faction Vahan Hovhannisyan called on his colleagues to vote against the draft laws arguing that "they pose dangers for Armenia and might have unpredictable consequences."
Head of Heritage parliamentary group Stepan Safaryan also urged the Armenian parliamentarians to reject the bills and abstain from voting.
The two factions did not participate in the vote.
