YEREVAN, JUNE 1, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. During the first 20
minutes of the June 1 special sitting, the RA National Assembly adopted
the 23 drafts and legislative packages discussed on the previous
day, the most part of which envisaged amendments and additions to
acting laws. The Parliament started discussion of the issue on the
NA Speaker's election. On behalf of the "RPA" faction, latter's head
Galust Sahakian proposed NA Deputy Speaker and RPA Deputy Speaker
Tigran Torosian's candidature. Hakob Hakobian, a member of the
"People's Deputy" group elected from Etchmiadzin, according to the
beforehand given promise, proposed Galust Sahakian's candidature
but the latter presented withdrawal. The only candidate proposed
for the NA Speaker's post, presented briefly to the Parliament his
approaches concerning the future activity of the Parliament, not
considering purposeful to present his own biography and the working
activity implemented up to that moment. He only mentioned that he
has worked at the Parliament during the recent 7 years and occupied
the Parliament's Deputy Speaker's post which has always considered
honourable and obliging for him. According to him, undertaking the NA
Speaker's post for a short time, he attaches importance to solution
of 3 problems. Those are: full involvement of the constitutional
amendments in the legislation, holding and preparation of coming
elections in correspondence with all the international standards and
creation of a necessary political atmosphere both in Parliament and
out of Parliament. According to T.Torosian, in the case of working
together, it will be possible to create all the necessry bases for
solution of the above-mentioned problems. He also stated that he
had worked jointly with former NA Speaker, Chairman of the "Orinats
Yerkir" (Country of Law) party Artur Baghdasarian for 3 years "in a
peaceful and very effective way," and he himself would not like at
all that "anybody makes an attempt to interprete presenting of those
questionings as a contrast to that work," that had been implemented
during the last 3 years.
