YEREVAN. – Ruling Republican Party of Armenia National Assembly (RPA
NA) Faction leader, and RPA Vice Chairman, Galust Sahakyan introduced
to the parliament a proposal to hold a special NA session, on April 9,
devoted to the swearing-in ceremony of President Serzh Sargsyan, 168
Zham daily reports.

`It was adopted by a ratio of 66 in favor, 25 against, and 6
abstentions. In an interview with us, NA Deputy Speaker Eduard
Sharmazanov noted that the [Prosperous Armenia Party] PAP NA Faction
MPs had voted abstaining to the proposal.

PAP NA Faction MP Vahe Enfiajyan said [as follows] with respect to
PAP’s abstaining votes:

`With our faction, we decided to express our position with this format.’

To the query as to whether abstaining votes imply that PAP will not
attend this [inauguration] ceremony, the MP responded:

`This is a very specific format of voting. We voted in abstaining. Is
it not clear what this means?” 168 Zham writes.
