    DO DETAINEES CARRY OUT POLITICAL ORDER?

    "If the Republic Party (HHK) Leader Galust Sahakyan wished, he could
    gather 44 signatures within five minutes to convene an extraordinary
    session with the participation of the Prosecutor General and three
    detained MPs," Galust Sahakyan said in reply to A1+.

    Asked why he hadn't done it, the HHK leader said: "Drive for signatures
    will not help solve the issue. We shouldn't depict everything in grey
    colours and worsen the detainees' state. Whenever we raise an issue
    we should realise that the political scene is unique and the issue
    should mature."

    Galust Sahakyan says the political domain, more precisely the National
    Assembly, is not prepared to listen to their detained colleagues.

    The OYK has abstained from the drive as they don't want to be involved
    in the at-trial procedure.

    "The drive for signatures will hardly change the situation as it
    is upon the court to acquit or imprison the MPs," said OYK member
    Heghine Bisharyan.

    I voted against Hakob Hakbyan's detention but he said offensive
    expressions in address to his colleagues. I don't want to cite his
    words. Let's wait until the court passes a verdict."

    ARD Dashnaktustyun also thinks that the case against the seven
    opposition activists "should be left in peace." If a trial is under
    way, the restraint cannot be reviewed. The drive for signatures was
    unlawful. Even if all factions gave their signatures the detainees
    couldn't be released until the trial ended, said ARFD member
    Hrayr Karapetyan. He blamed the detainees for delaying the court
    trial. "Probably they execute a political order and try to delay the
    trial as long as they can"
