"Bright Armenia" accused the parliamentary majority of unwillingness  to cooperate within the framework of the "April Committee``

ArmInfo. Yesterday, the parliamentary committee to investigate the events of the April war of 2016 completed its work. On June 5, an MP from the Bright Armenia faction  Gevorg Gorgisyan stated this during parliamentary briefings.

The lawmaker noted that, in general, the work of the committee was  rather constructive. "However, then our colleagues sharply changed  their behavior. When the head of the committee Andranik Kocharyan  began to summarize the results of the work, he stated that the  opposition was not interested in the effective work of the committee.  It's a lie. After we returned to work, we actively participated in  all meetings of the committee. And the last meeting, in which,  through video communication, the former president of Artsakh Bako  Sahakyan was questioned, took place without our knowledge," Gorgisyan  emphasized.

The lawmaker stated that only after journalists asked him to comment  on the meeting, in which Bako Sahakyan took part, he was provided  with a list of issues discussed at the meeting. <It seems that they  want to remove the opposition from all affairs, they want to silence  us. Moreover, it seems to us that the committee members want to draw  up a report on the work done without the participation and  consideration of the opinion of the opposition. However, this will  not happen. We will take an active part in the preparation of the  report>, Gorgisyan concluded.  It should be noted that after a fight  in parliament, the members of the Bright Armenia faction did not  attend parliamentary meetings and parliamentary committees for some  time. As a result, members of the faction missed two meetings of the  committee to investigate the events of the April war of 2016.  However, as Gorgisyan stated, the Bright Armenia members familiarized  themselves with all the video recordings from the meetings.

To recall, the parliamentary committee to investigate the  circumstances of the April war in Karabakh was created in 2019. The  Committee included representatives of all factions of the National  Assembly. The purpose of its work is to identify possible errors,  shortcomings or inaction on the part of the then authorities during  the aforementioned period of aggravation of the situation at the  border, which led to the death of more than 100 Armenian troops. The  committee was visited by the third President of Armenia Serzh  Sargsyan, former Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan, former Minister  of Defense of Artsakh Levon Mnatsakanyan, head of the General Staff  of the Armed Forces of Armenia Artak Davtyan, former Prime Minister  Karen Karapetyan, former Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward  Nalbandyan, while former Chief of the General Staff the Armed Forces  of Armenia Yuri Khachaturov refused to attend. The former president  of Artsakh, Bako Sahakyan, participated in the last meeting of the  commission through video communication.
