    Zhoghovurd: Tension reigns in HHK parliamentary faction

    Friday,
    May 24



    Tension reigns in `Republican Party of Armenia' (HHK) parliamentary
    faction, with many HHK representatives being disaffected with Hovik
    Abramian and David Harutyunian, Zhoghovurd writes, citing its sources.
    According to the paper, the reason is the Armenian National Congress's
    (HAK) draft law on creation of an interim commission to investigate
    the March 1, 2008 events.

    `On behalf of the parliamentary majority, H. Abrahamian and D.
    Harutyunian gave guarantees that the commission would be set up after
    the presidential elections. Yet at the last moment HHK did not keep
    its promise and voted against the draft, as a result of which it
    appears that HHK is against the disclosure of the March 1 events.

    Many HHK members say that they are in an awkward position because of
    Abrahamian and Harutyunian. Especially as during the vote on the draft
    law in the parliament, the speaker Hovik Abrahamian decided to abstain
    at the last moment, while David Harutyunian was absent,' the paper
    writes, adding that David Harutyunian refuted thee rumors.
