November 4, 2014 Tuesday
NNA - "Tashnaq" Political Party declared Tuesday that the "Armenian
Deputies Bloc shall attend the Parliamentary session scheduled
for Wednesday and shall vote against the extension of the outgoing
Council's mandate." In an issued statement following the Party's
central committee's extraordinary meeting this evening, it indicated
that "the Party's previous approval of extending the current Parliament
Council's mandate for 19 months was based on the need to provide the
Council ample time to decide on a modern and new electoral law that
ensures true representation of all segments of the Lebanese society."
"Unfortunately, the Council has failed in its duty to come-up with such
a law," added the Party's statement. "The Lebanese people deserve a
modern electoral law, one that would eliminate the inequity reaching
many categories of the Lebanese people and allow them the chance to
elect their true representatives at the Parliament," the statement
concluded.
