Zaruhi Postanjyan. `They are not graspers of the chance'
October 19 2013
No matter how the members of the Standing Committee of NA Foreign
Affairs and Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan asked Zaruhi
Postanjyan to withdraw her draft law and wait for a better time or to
try to do another way that her draft law on `Recognition of Nagorno
Karabakh Republic' not to get voted, she remained steadfast. As a
result, the Committee in the ratio of three votes pro and two votes
cons will present this draft law with negative conclusion to the next
session. Interestingly, one of the voters voting `con' was de jure
member of the `Heritage' party Alexander Arzumanyan, the other was the
Republican Party member Hamlet Harutyunyan who demonstratively left
the session, saying that he will not participate in the discussion of
the issue presented by Zaruhi Postanjyan, but in the end he came and
voted `con'. Those voting `pro' were Nikol Pashinyan from the ANC,
Tevan Poghosyan from `Heritage' and Armen Rustamyan from ARF. The
other members present at the session, Republican Samvel Farmanyan,
Razmik Markosyan, Shirak Torosyan, `Rule of Law' party member Khachik
Harutyunyan and independent MP Edmon Marukyan did not participate in
the voting. There should be at least five `pros' for the draft law to
be endorsed. After the session, to our questions whether Ms.
Postanjyan expected such a result, she said that she expected for
better, she thought that, eventually, their conscience will all of a
sudden awaken, but, unfortunately, so far `the conscience is with the
devil, it does not belong to them'. Ms. Postanjyan unequivocally
opposed the opinions repeatedly voiced during the session that, now,
it is not the convenient moment to recognize NKR. `You heard how many
times they said that we need to grasp the chance, but they were also
saying that there were moments that they missed, they are not graspers
of the chance, and again they are going to miss the chance. Today,
also, they are going to miss the chance with their participation.' The
details of the discussion will be available a bit later.
