NA NOVEMBER MEETING

Azat Artsakh – Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR)
05 Nov 04

The speaker of the National Assembly held a consultation during which
the agenda of the November meeting was discussed. It was decided to
include the Electoral Code and the bill `On Tourism’ for the second
reading. Besides, during the parliament meeting which will most
probably take place on November 24, changes will be made in the laws
`On Purchases’, `On Refugees’. The bills `On the Ombudsman’ and `On
Insurance’, as well as budget implementation of the 9 months of 2004
may also be discussed. NA speaker Oleg Yessayan mentioned that this
year the members of parliament must extend their suggestions on the
budget bill to the government beforehand. Oleg Yessayan noticed that
the parliament receives a lot of letters from individual electors,
organizations on questions concerning the budget. He asked not to
neglect those letters. The chairman of the Inspection Chamber Arkady
Soghomonian was also present at the consultation, and Oleg Yessayan
asked him to present a brief report on the work done by this
institution in a year, as well as the faults detected during
monitoring. The speaker of the National Assembly promised to publish
the documents if these are confirmed by the parliament. During the
consultation it was mentioned that the December meeting will discuss
the budget. Perhaps this year the budget will be adopted on time
because the amount of the interstate loan is already known. The
November meeting will discuss the question of granting tax privileges
to the companies of the capital `Sanmakrum’ and `Artsakhautotrans’.
