ArmInfo. The parliamentary opposition of Armenia demands extraordinary meetings of the Parliament on urgent domestic and foreign issues.
Today, MP Tigran Urikhanyan expressed his indignation at the fact that during the July events, when the Sasna Tsrer (Daredevils of Sassoon) group seized a police compound in Yerevan, the National Assembly did not suspend its holidays and failed to respond to the current critical situation. This is unacceptable for the supreme legislative and political body. He stressed the need to convene an extraordinary session on this matter.
Head of the Heritage Faction Zaruhi Postanjyan also pointed out the need to hold several extraordinary meetings of the Parliament regarding the seizure of the police compound and the results of the April war, during which the Armenian side lost 800 hectares. "All those responsible for the loss of Armenian territories must be punished," Postanjyan said.
Lawmaker Nikol Pashinyan, in turn, demanded that the Parliament should receive explanations from the authorized bodies regarding the negligent attitude towards the legal rights of the MPs, who are prevented from visiting arrestees and prisoners, particularly, the members of Sasna Tsrer. Armenian Parliament Speaker Galust Sahakyan promised to sort out the situation.
