YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 3, NOYAN TAPAN. Quite often, Armenian officials
do not answer questions of National Assembly deputies in time, thus
violating the Rules of Procedure of the NA, member of "Heritage"
parliamentary faction Anahit Bakhshian said at the National Assembly
on February 3.
She reminded that by the law, officials must either give a written
answer to the question of a deputy or organize a discussion with the
participation of the deputy within 10 days, and in case of a discussion
the deputy must be informed about it 3 days in advance. Whereas,
the answers to the questions of deputies either are belated or remain
unanswered, and letters sometimes disappear.
According to A. Bakhshian, such cases often happen in Yerevan mayor's
office where a deputy's letter about 7 cases of illegal construction
was "lost" recently. She said that very often answers are not given
because of officials' ignorance of laws, also because they are not
familier with the given problem and even do not have the necessary
education. In the words of A. Bakhshian, if state officials show such
an attitude to questions of deputies, ordinary citizens can hardly
get their attention.
