Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia Hovik Abrahamyan
appreciates the Parliament's activity this year. He pointed out that
the Parliament enhanced its efficiency by adopting 327 laws this year.
Abrahamyan stressed that the Parliament is now more influential as
a political body.
"The Parliament must become a platform for discussing the most
burning issues, and I will do my best for that. I want the criticism
voiced in the streets to be discussed in the National Assembly,"
Hovik Abrahamyan said. He stressed that the Parliament now has higher
public reputation. This year the Parliament received 5,562 letters and
answered all of them. "We have spared no effort to make the Parliament
closer to the public," Mr.Abrahamyan said.
He also expressed his satisfaction with the work of Armenian
parliamentary delegations to international structures. "As regards the
efficiency of activities within international organizations, Armenian
delegations ranked among the top ten," Abrahamyan said. Armenia is
considered a serious state and the great powers have to reckon with.
Commenting on yesterday's statements of the Turkish Foreign Minister
that "the Armenian-Turkish relations cannot be healthy unless the
Karabakh issue is solved," Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan said: "My attitude
towards such statements of any official is negative, and I think
also that it's not fair, since the Presidents have agreed that the
diplomatic relations should be established without preconditions. If
Turkey fails to ratify the protocols within a reasonable timeframe,
we'll try to take corresponding steps."
