Armen Martirosyan, Vice-Chairman of the Heritage party, commented on
the boycott of the Armenian NA's special meeting by the Republican
Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary group.
Boycott is a political step. However, made by the political majority,
it is an absurd and unacceptable one.
`The parliamentary majority would have acted right if they had
participated in the meeting and then, during the voting, either
boycotted or voted against,' Martirosyan told journalists on Friday.
Aram Sargsyan, Chairman of the Democratic Party of Armenia, noted
that, on some occasions, the party boycotted the parliament's meetings
as it had no other way of expressing its disagreement. The latest
boycott showed that Armenia's parliamentary majority is weak.
`Boycott by the majority is unacceptable indeed. The parties ruling in
this way are actually losers,' he said.
Mr Martirosyan, in turn, said that Armenia's parliamentary majority is
not even ready to listen, let alone resolve any problems. `If there is
a problem requiring discussions, it should be discussed,' Martirosyan
said.
