ArmInfo. The oppositional Heritage party intends to fight for
reinstatement of its parliamentarian in the main structure of Armenian
Delegation to PACE, Zaruhi Postanjyan, former permanent member of the
Armenian Delegation, and Stepan Safarya, head of the Heritage faction,
said at today's press-conference.
To recall, by Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Hovik Abrahamyan's
decision, a castling took place in the Armenian Delegation to PACE.
Zaruhi Postanjyan, the oppositional MP, was excluded from the permanent
structure of the delegation, and replaced by Artsruni Aghajanyan, a
parliamentarian from the pro-power Orinats Yerkir faction. Postanjyan
herself joined the stand-by members of the delegation. She pointed out
she knew that some changes were expected in the Armenian Delegation
to PACE, however, Heritage received no written reply to its request on
this issue from the parliamentary Speaker. She added the notification
that the stand-by members of the delegation will take no part in
PACE work was received not from the Speaker in the written form,
but from Estera Mkrtumyan, senior specialist of the Parliamentary
Foreign Relations Department, orally.
For his part, Head of the Heritage faction Stepan Safaryan said that
what happened was not the problem of Postanjyan, but hindering of the
activity of Heritage parliamentarians at the official level. "This
incident is already the 5th or 6th example over the past few months.
If the authorities spent so many efforts and energy on overcoming the
foreign challenges and not on the fight and isolation of our party,
Chavushoglu, who denies the fact of the Armenian Genocide, wouldn't
represent Europe today and there wouldn't be a number of challenges and
open pages, including the ones concerning March 1 events",- he said.
Safaryan added that Heritage is not going to yield its positions
and will fight for their rights and votes of its electorate and
reinstatement of its parliamentarian in the Armenian Delegation
to PACE.
