YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 6, NOYAN TAPAN. On February 5 the National Assembly
of the Republic of Armenia continued the proceedings of the first
four-day sittings of the session. Approximately, 10 out of the 92
registered MPs were present in the hall during the whole working
day. Under these conditions about twenty bills and international
treaties were discussed. As Tigran Torosian, the NA Speaker, recorded
in the evening sitting, the parliament did "very productive" work. It
should be mentioned that like on the eve the ARF Dashnaktsutiun and
Orinats Yerkir (Country of Law) factions did not take part in the NA
proceedings with their complete staff conditioned by the electoral
processes.
The picture was quite different in the last sitting of the day,
during which MPs, according to the NA regulations-law, could make
statements. 24 out of the thirty MPs, who had come to the hall, made
use of that right. Except a few registered MPs of the Zharangutiun
(Heritage) faction, the main subjects of the statements of about twenty
MPs representing the Republican Party of Armenia and the Prosperous
Armenia faction were the February 19 elections of the RA President,
the obvious superiority of their common candidate Serge Sargsian,
the RA Prime Minister and the Chairman of the Republican Party of
Armenia, as well as the criticism of the separate statements of his
rivals during the campaign, in particular, of Levon Ter-Petrosian,
the first President of the country and partly of Arthur Baghdasarian,
the Chairman of the Orinats Yerkir Party.
The statements of the representatives of the Zharangutiun faction
mainly concerned the legal problems of those sentenced to life
imprisonment, the cases on violation of human rights, as well as
"the elective mode of action" adopted by the prosecutor's office
in connection with the infringements of the law being made towards
citizens and the "attempts to seize" the places of the Zharangutiun
through "various ways" in the electoral commissions by the "members
of the team of Serge Sargsian, the candidate of the authorities".
