NEGOTIATIONS ON NA VACANT LEADING POSTS STILL GO ON
YEREVAN, MAY 29, NOYAN TAPAN. As of May 29, the negotiations on
parliamentary vacant posts still continued. These posts became vacant
as a result of the Orinats Yerkir Party's leaving the coalition and
the acception of the party representatives' resignations from the
posts assumed by them within the framework of the coalition
memorandum. The same day it was also envisaged to convene a sitting of
political coalition's council on the above-mentioned issue.
According to preliminary information, it is envisaged to convene a NA
special sitting on May 31 where, among other issues, the issue of the
election will be also discussed. The agreement on nomination of the
candidature of current NA Vice-Speaker, Vice-Chairman of the
Republican Party of Armenia Tigran Torosian for the post of RA NA
Speaker is considered to be achieved, while one can speak about the
possible candidates for the post of the chairmen of two standing NA
committees and for NA Vice-Speaker' post that will be vacant in case
of Tigran Torosian's being elected NA Speaker only at the level of
rumors. As Noyan Tapan correspondent was informed by by RPA faction
Head Galust Sahakian, the principle of political balance will be
preserved in the issue of nominating candidates for NA vacant leading
posts and the opinion of the committees will be taken into
consideration when determining the candidates for the posts of the
committees chairmen. According to non-official data, the right of
nominating a candidature of the chairman of NA Standing Committee on
Defence, National Security and Internal Affairs, in all probability,
will be reserved for the ARF Dashnaktsutiun faction though formerly it
was ULP that aspired to this post. The latter wil be given the post of
the Chairman of RA NA Standing Committee on Social, Healthcare and
Nature Protection Issues. To recap, Mnatsakan Petrosian, the only
representative of the faction in the above-mentioned committee, is the
current Vice-Chairman of the Committee.
