YEREVAN. - Committee on ethics is the best institute to raise
civilizational level of the Armenian Parliament, Prosperous Armenia
Party MP Vardan Bostanjyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
Vardan Bostanjyan is one of the authors of the bill amending the `Law
on Regulations in the National Assembly.' If the bill is adopted, a
committee on ethics will be set up.
The committee however will not have legal power. But the fact that any
issue, causing improper behavior of the MP, is discussed at the
parliament is just unbearable for any reasonable person. `It will
serve as a `straight jacket' especially for relations and approaches
of the ruling parties,' he added.
Bostanjyan believes that the bill on establishing the committee will
be passed as even those MPs, who are against it, will not have the
risk to speak up.
Meantime, the MP said that it is not necessary to link the
establishment of the committee with the fact that Armenian Parliament
lacks ethics.
