    TIGRAN TOROSIAN: "WE HAVE NO ACTING ANTHEM AT THE MOMENT"

    YEREVAN, DECEMBER 7, NOYAN TAPAN. "We have no acting anthem at the
    moment," RA National Assembly Speaker Tigran Torosian stated at the
    December 7 sitting. According to the constitutional amendments adopted
    in 2005, the deadline for carrying out the demand to define the
    state anthem by the law was December 5. In the NA Speaker's words,
    the only way out from the created situation is the possible uniting
    and adoption of the draft "On the RA Anthem" of the ARF faction put on
    the agenda for discussing in the 1st sitting and of the Government's
    draft of the same name already adopted in the 1st reading, but remained
    out of the agenda to be discussed in the 2nd reading. T.Torosian stated
    that this issue is at present being discussed with the government
    representatives. Otherwise, in his words, the draft authored by
    the Government may be discussed only at the special sitting of the
    Parliament on convening which there is no initiative yet. To recap,
    the main principle different of the 2 drafts is that by the ARF draft
    "Mer Hayrenik" (Our Fatherland) acted till now is defined the anthem,
    and according to the transitional principles of the Government's draft,
    it is envisaged to leave the latter in force till defining the text
    and music of the anthem by the law.
