ARMENIAN PARLIAMENT VOTES DOWN GOVERNMENT-CRISIS BILL
YEREVAN, February 25. /ARKA/. On Wednesday, the Armenian National
Assembly voted down a government crisis bill proposed by factions of
Prosperous Armenia and Heritage political parties and the Armenian
National congress bloc yet in October 2014.
The parties then insisted on urgent discussion, but the bill was not
discussed because the parliament was busy.
On Monday, the bill was eventually put on the National Assembly's floor
and sparked hot debates between the authorities and the opposition
and inside the opposition as well.
As a result, only 16 MPs supported the bill, while 67 voted against
it and six abstained. Prosperous Armenia, the second biggest faction,
missed the discussion and vote saying it was boycotting the session
because of the complicated and tense political situation inside
the country.
Levon Zurabyan, head of Armenian National Congress faction, presenting
the bill at the session, said that the country leadership's activity
resulted in failure everywhere - in economy, social sector, foreign
and domestic policies etc.
