PanARMENIAN.Net – Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc
leader addressed the issue of Armenian parliamentarians, who are
engaged in entrepreneurial activities counter to Armenian Constitution
stipulations.
“76 out of 131 Armenian MPs own their businesses. Factually, oligarchs
have seized the power in the National Assembly, with Armenian President
turning a blind eye to the problem,” Levon Ter-Petrossian said during
ANC rally.
Ter-Petrossian further dwelled on 2008 election, actions of the Central
Election Committee and Constitutional Court during presidential race,
as well as recent WikiLeaks publications on Armenia.
