A rare display of unanimity took place in the Armenian parliament
today as all of its members present in the chamber (100 out of 131)
- representing both the ruling Republican Party of Armenia and
opposition factions - voted in favor of a law on assistance to
borderline communities.
The law passed in the first reading concerns a total of 31 communities
and envisages partial compensation of expenses on utilities, including
natural gas, electricity and irrigation water supplies. It also
provides for full compensation of the land and property taxes.
The Armenian parliament showed similar unanimity last August in the
wake of the escalation of tensions in the Karabakh conflict zone and
along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. Ruling party and opposition
lawmakers then also made joint trips to the border communities in the
northeast of Armenia living under regular fire from the Azerbaijani
side.
