Opposition MP says anti-social laws push her to frequent speeches
13:36 - 19.06.11
The bills proposed in our parliament very often fail to meet the
public demand, and what's even more, conflict with the public
interest, says an opposition MP.
`My frequent speeches at the National Assembly are conditioned by the
fact that the legislative proposals not only fail to meet but also
conflict, very often, with the public interest,' Larisa Alaverdyan of
the Heritage party faction in parliament told Tert.am.
Her statement came after a recent parliament monitoring (available at
http://parliamentmonitoring.am), which gave the ranking of MPs
depending on the frequency of speeches in parliament. Alaverdyan, who
was Armenia's first human rights defender, topped the list.
Dwelling further on the reasons of her frequent speeches, the MP noted
further that Heritage is a small faction, a factor that obliges its
members to speak more often at parliamentary hearings.
`If our faction were a little bigger, there would be fewer speeches
probably,' she said.
Alaverdyan said her experience in different spheres is yet another
factor causing her to speak more to voice various proposals.
`Frequent speeches imply I have my own opinion on different bills,' she said.
