"The NA Chairman has no grounds to reject the appeal by the "Country of Law" faction, but there is no decision yet," speaker for the NA Chairman Nairi Petrosyan told "A1+" today.
Let us remind that head of the "Country of Law" (OEK) Heghine Bisharyan had appealed to the NA Chairman to include their faction member Artsruni Aghajanyan in the PACE delegation instead of Zaruhi Postanjyan.
The basis of the appeal is that since the ARF's drop-out from the coalition, the relationship between forces in the main group of the PACE delegation hasn't expressed the proportion of the parliamentary forces.
If the NA upholds the appeal by "Country of Law" (OEK), member of the "Heritage" faction, oppositionist Zaruhi Postanjyan will be included in the substituting group and will be deprived of the right to vote and will not have the opportunity to participate in the monitoring sessions.
Why was it decided to take out Zaruhi Postanjyan from the main group of the delegation and not the other oppositionist Armen Rustamyan? In response, Nairi Petrosyan said: "The ARF faction is larger." According to Nairi Petrosyan, they are going along with the PACE rules and regulations.
In her conversation with "A1+", Postanjyan noted that she is being taken out mainly by the initiative of the NA Chairman because "the NA Chairman doesn't need any additional comments, speeches. But the people voted for me for me to represent their interests and defend their rights," said Zaruhi Postanjyan.
Nairi Petrosyan informed that the member of the substituting group is not deprived of the right to speak.
