During today’s briefings Parliamentary groups and factions, except for
the Republican faction, expressed their disagreement with the comments
of the President of Central Bank of Armenia Tigran Sargsyan on dollar
deflation. Head of the ARF faction Hrayr Karapetyan said that the
increase of the exchange rate of the Armenian dram is artificial and
it hits the interests of local producers. This, of course, does not
refer to "People’s Deputy" and "Businessman" factions and the United
Labor Party, since they were not participating in the last briefings
of the spring session.
Turning to the latest conclusions of the Venice Commission regarding
the Electoral Code, Head of "Justice" block Sepan Demirchyan
reconfirmed that in case the coalition refuses to accept the four
preconditions they suggest, they will recall their signatures from
the document. Stepan Demirchyan underlined that execution of reforms
is important rather than the reforms themselves.
Speaking about future plans, the Parties noted that in summer they
will be engaged in settlement of internal party issues, preparing
for the prelection period to start in the fall.
