The Parliamentary opposition urges the parliament majority, namely the
Republican Party Faction, to observe the Parliament's Regulations.
Speaking at the extraordinary meeting of the Parliament on 21 June, MP
Aghvan Vardanyan (ARFD Party), said the amendments to the Law On
Funded Pension have been passed with gross violation of the Law on the
Parliament's Regulations.
Vardanyan claims that some Republican parliamentarians openly voted on
the bill instead of their absent colleagues.
Head of the RPA Faction Vahram Baghdasaryan said, in turn, that the
Parliament secured the quorum at the current meeting and asked the
opposition not to make "allegations."
Head of the Armenian National Congress Faction Levon Zurabyan said the
Republican Party grossly violates the regulations and asked for a
20-minute break. However, Speaker Galuyst Sahakyan refused to break
the meeting.
A member of Prosperous Armenia Party Vartan Oskanian, in turn, said
that the Parliament pushes through a law that is opposed by 80% of the
population. He also demanded a 20-minute break.
