    ZARUHY POSTANJYAN LAID RESPONSIBILITY UPON NA SPEAKER

    "Do not speak in a demanding voice," Speaker of the National Assembly
    Hovik Abrahamyan addressed Heritage Party MP Zaruhy Postanjyan today.

    The latter wondered why the NA didn't take measures for detained MP
    Hakob Hakobyan to attend NA sittings and introduce his legislative
    initiatives.

    "Why don't you take efforts to free our detained MPs," asked Zaruhy
    Postanjyan.

    The question immediately made the NA Speaker nervous.

    "You make me speak openly. And why didn't you attend the sitting
    of the NA Standing Committee on State-Legal Affairs? You were to
    participate at the sitting and voice the proposal. It is upon the
    Committee to proceed or cancel the discussion of an issue. Besides,
    you are not entitled to interfere with the activity of the Republican
    Party. You wonder why... And I answer because all issues are discussed
    inside the Party," said the NA Speaker.

    Zaruhy Postanjyan noted that she had missed the Committee sitting
    deliberately.

    "Yes, I did it on purpose as I was well aware of the Republican's
    stance. Moreover, we planned to convene a special sitting on the
    issue but thanks to your Party our initiative failed."

    "You are not objective. You simply raise issues but I don't see any
    practical steps taken by you," answered Mr. Abrahamyan.

    The National Assembly then passed to the discussion of legislative
    initiatives left unaddressed during the previous four-day sitting.
