NA deputies today elected two chairs of permanent committees on
Social, Health and Nature Protection as well as Defense, Internal
Affairs and National Security. Both were taken by United Working Party
(MAK) members Mnatsakan Petrosyan and Aramais Grigoryan. Mnatsakan
Petrosyan received 71 votes with 1- against and Aramais Grigoryan
received 70 votes with 1 against.

Before their candidacies were proposed, Mnatsakan Petrosyan and
Aramais Grigoryan left their powers as members of returning board.
Hripsime Avetisyan took the position in the returning board from MAK
and Samvel Sahakyan replaced independent deputy A. Grigoryan in the
same board. Vostanik Marukhyan from the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation was not proposed for any position but he was replaced by
Gegham Manukyan from the same party.

The newly elected heads of the committees will govern only for one
year because next year new parliamentary elections will take
place. A. Grigoryan assured that he has a clear idea how he is going
to manage the committee and promised to work in the same spirit as
Mher Shahgeldyan did. Shahgeldyan’s candidacy was proposed by Hmaiak
Hovhannisyan but the latter refused to compete for the position.
Hmaiak Hovhannisyan’s candidacy was proposed by Viktor Dallakyan but
again the deputy refused to participate in the
elections. /Panorama.am/
