ARMENIAN PARLIAMENT SPEAKER IS DEMOCRACY DEVOTEE
Support A1+!Armenian national Assembly Speaker Arthur Baghdasryan convened a news conference today to state he reiterated his stance against persecutions. He also voiced condemnation at the criminal case instigated against the Justice alliance.
He said he was also opposed to criminal charges brought to General-Lieutenant Vagharshak Harutyunyan. Political issues should be solved only on political field, he said.
Answering journalists’ questions about the April 13 violence against peaceful demonstrators, Baghdasaryan said neither National Assembly nor the coalition government was empowered to make pressure on the law enforcement. The law enforcement bodies are under the president’s direct control, he says.
