Budget approved, sitting ended
The National Assembly will recap the vote for the draft laws and will announce the end of this year's sitting today at 17:30. The 84 MPs voted for several important draft laws, including next year's state budget.
With 66 for and 2 against, the National Assembly today passed the draft law on the "2012 State Budget". "I don't think this is the best working style ahead of the parliamentary elections because we are accepting imposed decisions. It is clear to us that this is not a state, but a "pre-electoral" budget and that the ruling coalition has adopted it exclusively for the pre-electoral campaign. This is appropriation of state means," "Heritage" MP Armen Martirosyan declared.
With 66 for, 2 against and 2 neutral, the National Assembly also passed the draft law on making amendments in the law "On the Impact of an Expert Examination on the Environment". Armen Martirosyan declared that "Heritage" would be voting against this law as well.
