PanARMENIAN.Net - ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary group leader
Vahan Hovhannissian commented on Armenian National Congress (ANC)
member Nikol Pashinyan's remarks about ex-minister Vartan Oskanian
and authorities.
"Progress has been recorded in the recent years, MPs are no longer
beaten up today before arrest as they were in the past," Mr.
Hovhannissian said with irony.
Dwelling on Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan's proposal to strip
ex-minister Oskanian of immunity, ARFD representative said, "It's not
the case when deprivation of immunity contributes to consolidation
of the legislative field."
He further suggested other MPs follow Mr. Oskanian's case and tell
about their sources of income.
"Many will prefer not to utter a word as they will be arrested without
being striped of congressional immunity," he said.
