    The Parliament Monitoring Program has summed up the results of
    monitoring of the activity of the National Assembly of fifth
    convocation during the fist two sessions. The report has been
    developed on the basis of combination of journalists' remarks, expert
    analysis and the statistical program of the parliamentmonitoring.am
    website.

    "The 5-part report is the first about the parliament formed in May
    2012. Therefore, the information refers to the MPs and political
    forces represented in the National Assembly and the relations between
    them. The report includes reference to the legislative activity and
    provides an expert analysis of the laws," head of the program Lusine
    Vasilyan told reporters today.

    Thus, according to the results of the study, the Parliament has been
    less active in presenting legislative initiatives and with the level
    of involvement in political decision-making processes, Lusine Vasilyan
    said.

    The Republican and Orinats Yerkir factions have voted against only 1%
    of the bills. This can be assessed as unequivocal solidarity with the
    Government's policy. Prosperous Armenia has mostly abstained from
    voting. In case of the remaining three factions - the Armenian
    National Congress, the Armenian Revolutionary federation and the
    Heritage - the pro and con votes have been distributed more
    proportionately, Lusine Vasilyan said.

    As for the statistics of questions and speeches, the study has
    revealed change of behavior in favor of the Republican faction (151
    questions and speeches). The Heritage faction has been the least
    active with 28 questions and speeches.

    The results of the study indicate that the Prosperous Armenia Party
    faction is the richest in the Parliament. According to the
    declarations submitted by the MPs, 20 of them are "dollar
    millionaires." The top ten includes four representatives of Prosperous
    Armenia Party. Gagik Tsarukyan tops the rating followed by Republican
    Samvel Aleksanyan. The declarations presented by MPs representing the
    Heritage faction are the most modest.
