YEREVAN. - Armenian National Assembly's (NA) special session on
Wednesday, which was devoted to Ramil Safarov's extradition to
Azerbaijan and his being granted pardon there by President Ilham
Aliyev, was held in an "exceptionally" patriotic climate, 168 Zham
daily reports.
"Numerous MPs delivered speeches condemning what had transpired,
calling for unity, and some were also criticizing the MFA for inaction.
As a result of the 'heated' session that lasted until the evening,
NA adopted-by a vote of 90 'for' and one 'against'-a statement which,
by its content, virtually does not differ from the assessments and
calls that were made in the past several days.
That is, NA's yesterday's session and this statement added nothing, for
the most part. In the meantime, NA, as the state's primary political
institution, at least should have decided on Armenia's next courses
of action in this situation, [and] their succession. In that case,
convening a special session would have had some meaning.
But, yesterday, NA yet again just ratified that the President decides
everything in Armenia and the parliament simply plays the role of
'democratic hollowness,'" 168 Zham writes.
