FINAL SITTING OF STILL ACTING NKR NA FAILS BECAUSE OF ABSENCE OF
QUORUM
STEPANAKERT, JUNE 22, NOYAN TAPAN. The final sitting of NKR National
Assembly with the former staff was to be convened on June 22. But the
sitting failed because of absence of quorum. The convocation of the
final sitting was postponed for a week. According to the Liberty radio
station, there were members of ARF faction among those who were
absent. Their absence is conditioned by the incident connected with
former freedom-fighter Pavel Manukian, member of their party nominated
by the ARF Movement-88 bloc's proportional list in the June 19
parliamentary elections. According to eye-witnesses, on June 21, at
about 2 pm, two servicemen took P.Manukian, holder of the "Combat
Cross" order of second degree, to city hospital. Manukian was beaten
and had injuries dangerous for his life. According to some
information, he was beaten at the Ministry of Defence. According to
the radio station, journalists are still prohibited to enter the
hospital but the victim's relatives said that the doctors registered
concussion of the brain, now P.Manukian has regained consciousness and
is able to testify about the incident to the investigators of the
Prosecutor's Office. Vahan Badasian, member of ARF faction, assured
that they will do their best "to solve the issue within the framework
of the law." "The criminal must be found sooner or later," the ARF
member said.
