Initiative group fails to collect enough signatures
The National Assembly will not convene a special sitting on the Harsnakar case, as was demanded by an initiative group calling for punishment for those guilty in the Harsnakar incident. The group failed to collect the 44 necessary required for convening the sitting. A total of 22 signatures have been gathered as of 6:00 p.m.
The move was initiated on Thursday by the Armenian National Congress (HAK) after consulting with the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK), Armenian Revolutionary Federation -Dashnaktsutyun and Heritage.
The document has been signed by the seven MPs of HAK, four MPs of Heritage [with the exception of Raffi Hovannisian who is not in Armenia], three MPs of ARF-Dashnaktsutyun [with the exception of Raffi Hovannisian who is not in Armenia either] and seven MPs of BHK. The latter is represented by 37 MPs in the National Assembly.
