During today’s parliamentary discussion of the draft amendments to
the RA Law on Television and Radio, Armenian Parliament Speaker
Hovik Abrahamyan seriously criticized the RA government for its
"hasty introduction" of the bill on the National Assembly’s agenda.

The NA Speaker suggested organizing parliament hearings on the
bill with the participation of specialists and representatives from
international structures and NGOs.

Only after relevant changes will the bill have its second hearing in
the Armenian parliament.

Hovik Abrahamyan also suggested that his fellow colleagues vote for
the bill in the first reading and enable the government to continue
working on the amendments.

Voting is scheduled for on May 20.
