PRESENCE OF OPPOSITION IN ARMENIAN PARLIAMENT WILL INCREASE EFFICIENCY OF
ELABORATION AND CONSIDERATION OF BILLS: ARMENIAN PARLIAMENTARY SPEAKER
BODY:YEREVAN, DECEMBER 18. ARMINFO. Presence of the opposition in the
Armenian Parliament will increase the efficiency of elaboration and
consideration of bills, says Armenian Parliamentary Speaker Artur
Baghdasaryan in his interview with the Armenian Second TV channel
“H2.” A.Baghdasaryan is the Leader of the Orinats Yerkir party included
in the ruling coalition.
In his words, if the boycott is continued, the opposition is better
refuse from its presence in the parliament at all. Artur Baghdasaryan
thinks that this problem must be solved only through political
discussions. Finally, the people will send the MPs to the parliament,
in order that they protect its interests, first of all. There are
national problems like the peaceful resolution of Karabakh conflict
and they cannot be “favorable to the authorities and unfavorable to
the opposition or vice versa,” Baghdasaryan says.
Speaking of the domestic political situation in Armenia on the whole,
he states that it can be called stable. It is for the first time that
the political forces in the parliament has formed a coalition. Of
course, there are conflicts of opinions and approaches inside the
coalition in conditions of powerful positive potential. Of course,
there are obstacles, which can be overcome through structural reforms,
first of all. As regards the talks on the necessity of extraordinary
presidential and parliamentary elections, they are illogical from
the political point of view, he states. He assessed the activity of
the parliament in 2004 as effective as it was possible.
