“I would like to hear more political debates in the Parliament instead
of non political ones,” Gegham Manoukyan, NA new deputy informed
us today.
He entered the Parliament as a result of a procedure which certain
political analysts call a collapse of the Coalition. It means that
in case OYP didn’t quit the Coalition, and Levon Lazarian wasn’t
appointed the Minister of Education, Gegham Manoukyan wouldn’t go to
the Parliament.
But he is of different opinion. “The Coalition exists, and it is
independent of certain people. There is a Coalitional memorandum which
is the base of the Coalition. There is a principle of the Coalition,
a document which testifies to the existence of the Coalition.” In
Gegham Manoukyan’s opinion the political state of internal affairs is
quiet in the country and nothing strange or extraordinary has happened.
“The changes are normal and logical on the threshold of elections,”
he claims. By the way, the latter will continue his creative work. “I
would like to be engaged in journalism and I shall continue my work.”
Asked whether he will be involved in political or legislative activity
in the Parliament he answered, “Whenever any deputy deals with only
political issues in the Parliament he harms the activity of the
Parliament, politics and legislative activity are connected.”
