Ruben Hakobyan, head of the Heritage Party parliamentary faction,
urged National Assembly President Hovik Abrahamyan to reconsider his
statement on his intention to remove Heritage Party MP Zaruhi
Postanjyan from the Armenian delegation at the Parliamentary Assembly
of the Council of Europe (PACE). This Hakobyan today said at a meeting
with reporters in the parliament, emphasizing that Abrahamyan's
intention doesn't prove that Armenia is a democratic country.
According to the MP, Abrahamyan discussed this matter with the
factions, particularly the Heritage Party, but he did not provide the
factions' views in his statement.
Asked if his faction had discussed replacing Postanjyan, since,
according to the rules of procedure, it is the faction that appoints
the PACE delegation member, Hakobyan said that they have yet to
discuss the matter.
However, Hakobyan, expressing his personal opinion, said that
high-level platforms [such as PACE] should be used to raise political
issues. Recall, Postanjyan in Strasbourg on Wednesday asked Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan whether he recently lost 70 million euros at
a casino in Europe.
