October 3, 2006 Tuesday
Today the Armenian Parliament considered two bills on the regulations
of the Armenian Parliament and preferred the bill drafted by
pro-governmental forces.
The chairman of the parliamentary commission on legal issues Rafik
Petrossyan says from now on a deputy’s question to the government
will be sent either to the government or local administrations who
should answer the deputy within 20 days or appear in the parliament
and answer the question personally.
There will be one rather than several commissions on one and the
same bill. The bill also specifies the procedures for approving
governmental programs, calling extraordinary sessions, confirming
the president’s resignation, boycotting parliament’s work. From now
on any parliamentary group can boycott the parliament’s work for two
rather than one session which is "more democratic."
