Will Republican lawmakers use informer’s system? (video)
Support A1+!At the NA session convened by the Government today yesterday’s drafts are being discussed with the 2nd reading. The discussion started from the package of Committee on Prevention of Corruption and adjacent laws. Author, the NA Deputy Speaker Arpine Hovhannisyan first thanked for cooperation, noting that a number of proposals by Dashnaktsutyun and Yelk alliance were accepted, particularly they relate to participation of opposition representatives in the committee’s competition council, the proposal of Yelk alliance lawmaker Gevorg Gorgisyan regarding the issue of selection of the committee’s staff on holding testing. Gevorg Petrosyan, lawmaker from Tsarukyan alliance, made a remark that the committee lacks the principles of legality, impartiality, independence. Arpine Hovhannisyan replied, “We, lawyers, can see and hear what we want; the committee cannot operate out of those principles.” Yelk alliance lawmaker Edmon Marukyan said that he was on business trip and couldn’t express his opinion, “Within the frames of current opportunities, we can make use of the establishment of the committee as much as possible, though, it could have been stronger. If all the citizens voted for Yelk, the situation would be different. I will be surprised, if Republican lawmakers apply to this committee or the Informer’s system, as it is the mechanism of the opposition and from the very first day we will apply to it. That’s why we support this package of drafts.”
