“The brilliance and wretchedness of Armenian politics”
NA groups and factions didn't come to terms on expressing a position on leader of "Heritage" party Raffi Hovhannisian's hunger strike the whole day.
During the hour of announcements at the National Assembly, head of the ARF faction Vahan Hovhannisyan condemned those who have created obstacles for Raffi Hovhannisian's hunger strike at Freedom Square and said he especially doesn't accept the ban on setting up a tent.
Head of the "Country of Law" party's faction Heghine Bisharyan spoke about increasing women's participation in electoral processes. According to her, that will contribute to efficient governance.
Independent MP Victor Dallakyan addressed the assaults against the people connected to electoral processes in Armenia, starting from Levon Ter-Petrosyan's presidency in 1996 and so forth. According to him, Levon Ter-Petrosyan did the right thing by going to Freedom Square and not the presidential residence after the rally on March 17.
"Serzh Sargsyan received Levon Ter-Petrosyan remotely and in a civilized manner at Freedom Square."
The MP says what's interesting is the fact that "in 1988, the people were screaming "Demirchyan, Leave", in 1998 they were demanding "Demirchyan, Return" and in 1996, the people were holding a rally near the presidential residence and demanding "Levon, Leave".
"The same people held a rally in 2008 and demanded "Levon, Return". Perhaps this is the brilliance and wretchedness of Armenian politics."
