NEW PARLIAMENT OF ARTSAKH STARTS WORKING
On June 30, the new parliament of Nagorno Karabakh held its first sitting.
As it was predicted, Ashot Khulian, head of the National Democratic Party,
was elected parliament speaker.
The very first sitting pointed out to the absence of opposition.
Representatives of Armenian Revolutionary Federation and Movement-88 voiced
dissatisfaction with ballots that did not contain abstention option during
the elections of parliament chairman, vice-chairman and chairs of standing
committees.
The chairman was elected unanimously but the vice-chairman, Rudik Hyusnunts,
got one vote against. The Committees of Foreign Affairs and State Legal
Issues will be headed by Vahram Atanesian and Yuri Hayrapetian who chaired
the same Committees of the outgoing parliament. All other chairmen are new
to their posts.
The last issue of the sitting concerned the program of actions of the
government.
