MP CRITICIZES GOVERNMENT FOR NOT ATTENDING DRAFT DISCUSSION
Tert.am

Armen Martirosyan, MP of the opposition party Heritage, criticized
the government for failing to send a representative to attend the
discussion of amendments to a law related to nature protection.
During the hearing on Monday Martirosyan said it was not ethical to
discuss the draft bill when there is no single representative from
the government, as such discussions must take between the parliament
and the executive body.
"Let the government by so kind as to send at least one representative.
Such an approach is impermissible," said Martirosyan.
Further, he said that the draft bill was introduced into the parliament
as a result of what he called "non-transparent working style," without
prior public discussions and in violation of the responsibilities
Armenia assumed by joining international conventions.
Martirosyan also said Armenia cannot afford having Ministry of Nature
Protection.
"It's a luxury for us to have a Minsitry of Nature Protection. It
should stop existing as such and should act as a department at the
Minsitry of Economy," explained Martirosyan, adding that the ministry
is doing much for the development of the economy rather than for the
protection of nature.
