The National Assembly on Wednesday did not pass the package of bills—submitted by opposition MPs Ishkhan Saghatelyan, Aram Vardevanyan, and Aghvan Vardanyan—which proposed criminalizing any _expression_ against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Armenia.
The MPs of the ruling majority “Civil Contract” Faction voted against these drafts—which received 30 votes in favor, 63 against, and 1 abstention.
