Speaker Tigran Torosyan stated June 22 that there is no reason to be
optimistic about the parliamentary assembly of the South Caucasian
countries. Several months ago the former speaker of the National
Assembly Arthur Baghdasaryan made a statement with different contents,
even considering it possible that the South Caucasian Parliamentary
Assembly may kick off in January 2007. Tigran Torosyan thinks it is
a wish, and he would not mind it. However, as someone who is well
aware of parliamentary processes, Tigran Torosyan said there are no
guarantees that this wish will come true. "There is as much optimist
about this matter as about the conflict over Karabakh, for in both
cases the key reasons are the same," said Tigran Torosyan.
