YEREVAN, MAY 23, NOYAN TAPAN. The Parliament is obliged to
discuss issues connected with the National Assembly Speaker's
resignation. Independent Deputy Hmayak Hovhannisian stated about it at
the May 22 sitting. "We have today entered a field of contradictions
which we are obliged to discuss as the Parliament is not a gathering
of noble ladies," the Deputy mentioned. According to Hovhannisian,
the matter is that the elective head of the highest representative
body avoids to leave the post by touching upon the issue of his
confidence, but prefers to resign by the means of an application. He
considered strange the circumstance that estimating positively the
three-years joint activity with partners of the ruling coalition,
the NA Speaker mentions at the same time that a serios regress from
the way of democratic development took place.
"Expressing gratitude to each other, we do not fulfil at the same time
our obligation in front of the people, to arise all the sharp issues,"
the speaker mentioned. Touching upon the fact, that NA Speaker Artur
Baghdasarian points out in the context of reasoning his resignation
the atmosphere of all-embracing fear existing in the country, the
Deputy supposed that "maybe, the type of resignation chosen by him
was also a consequence of a fear."
