YEREVAN, DECEMBER 22, NOYAN TAPAN. In 2009 the RA National Assembly
Zharangutiun (Heritage) faction presented more than twenty legislative
initiatives. As faction head Stepan Safarian mentioned at a December
22 press conference, the initiatives regarded various spheres,
national, socio-economic, etc. "All our bills implying political
reforms were rejected," S. Safarian declared adding that in 2009 the RA
authorities delayed the recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic
by one more year, refused to adopt a respective law on the right for
the homeland. According to S. Safarian, Zharangutiun's members had
worked at each bill for weeks and even months but everything went to
pot with a button pressing by deputies making majority.
Faction member Anahit Bakhshian reminded RA President's statement
that one should always listen to another and if he says a clever thing
should use his proposals. "However, this thought of the President is
not fulfilled, they are purely words," A. Bakhshian said stressing
that the authorities do not accept Zharangutiun's proposals.
Faction member Zaruhi Postanjian touched upon PACE's last report on
Armenia estimating it as "purely an informational, strange document."
In her words, every time PACE records that though the death
circumstances of the 2008 March 1 victims have not been disclosed,
there are positive shifts in the respect of strengthening democracy.
Z. Postanjian declared that the March 1 page will not be closed
until it is cleared up why the army was brought against peaceful
demonstrants. "Mrs Bakhshian said "RA President" in her speech but
RA has no President. If it had, no Armenian-Turkish protocols of the
kind would be signed."
