The opening ceremony of a reconstructed sitting hall in the Armenian
National Assembly took place on October 22 with participation of
President Serzh Sargsyan, His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch
and Catholicos of All Armenians, NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan and
members of parliament.
Speaker Abrahamyan thanked the Armenian President for assistance.
“Reconstruction and technique are important for the efficient activity
of the parliament,” he said. “The oval shape of the hall symbolizes
equality and cooperation but doesn’t not mean absence of competition
and discussion. Parliament is a platform for political debates but
not for offenses. An atmosphere of mutual respect and trust should
reign in the sitting hall.”
His Holiness Karekin II consecrated the hall and congratulated MPs
on its opening.
