ARMENIA'S PARLIAMENT VOTES AGAINST THREE OPPOSITION BILLS
TERT.AM
12.11.12
Armenia's National Assembly rejected today, at the regular four-day
sitting, the three bills the opposition has presented. The bills
related to the Harsnaqar case, creation of anti-corruption commission
and raise in pensions.
The MPs did not back the bill authored by Heritage party MPs Zaruhi
Postnajyan and Ruben Hakobyan on creation of an ad hoc commission to
study the cases of crimes by high ranking or resigned officials. The
bill is connected with the case of severe beating of military doctors
in Harnsaqar restaurant on June 17, 2012 that caused the death of one
of them and death of Poghos Poghosyan killed by second president's
bodyguard in a cafe in 2001.
The bill was backed by 41 MPs, while the majority (62 MPs) voted
against it.
Another bill authored by the same MPs and relating to corruption
manifestations and creation of anti-corruption ad hoc commission has
been backed by 35 MPs while 70 voted against and 1 abstained.
The mentioned bills received negative conclusion during the discussion
at the NA's State Legal Affairs Standing Committee.
The parliament voted against the Armenian National Congress (ANC)
opposition bloc's bill authored by faction's MP Hrant Bagratyan on
raising the amounts of all pensions. Forty-five MPs voted against,
43 for the bill.
