Armenian National Assembly preliminarily passed a bill on amendments to the 2001-2003 privatisation program after several failed attempts.

The opposition leaders say the government is trying to pass the bill in a bid to seize control over a number of hospitals such as Nork mental or Bazikyan cancer hospitals.

Today, Fiscal and Budget Commission presented its negative conclusion on some items of the bill. Lawmakers passed it after hospital-related items withdrawal.

The opposition takes this as a victory.
