No sanctions will be applied against the Armenian MPs that voted in
place of others.
A Tuesday meeting chaired by Parliament Speaker Samvel Nikoyan
discussed the issue of the MPs of the Republican Party of Armenia
(RPA) that voted in place of others. The meeting decided against
applying any sanctions against them.
The Press and Public Relations Department, Parliament of Armenia,
reports that, in the written responses to a number of letters, Speaker
Samvel Nikoyan stated his intention to urge the parliamentary groups
to rule out such incidents.
At the latest four-day parliamentary session, Larisa Alaverdyan,
a Heritage party member, noticed some of the RPA MPs voting in
place of others. She stated that "two-headed people" were present
in parliament. The Center of Parliamentarism NGO demanded that the
Special Investigation Service initiate criminal proceedings against
the MPs. The Special Investigation Service forwarded the complaint
to Speaker Samvel Nikoyan.
According to the official report, none of the MPs named anyone that
voted in place of others. "Therefore, pursuant to Article 45 of the
NA Regulations, the chairman did not apply any sanctions against the
MPs, but called on them not to vote in place of others."
