Ruling party decides against forming commission on Artsakh  Armenians`economic rights 

ArmInfo.The ruling majority of the National Assembly of Armenia, represented by the Civil Contract  faction, is against the creation of an investigative committee on the implementation of the socio-economic rights of the people of Artsakh. This was stated by the head of the Civil Contract faction of the National Assembly Hayk Konjoryan at a parliamentary session on October 2.

Konjoryan noted that the government and the  ruling faction have been implementing various assistance programs to  create conditions for organizing the life of the forcibly displaced  population of Artsakh in the Republic of Armenia. According to the  MP, the public of the country is a daily witness to the work done.

In addition, the parliamentary opposition, within the framework of  the powers vested in it by the parliamentary mandate, can receive  answers to questions of concern, which the ruling majority is ready  to facilitate, including by creating working groups, he added.

He noted that one of the most important missions of the proposed  investigative commission should have been the implementation of the  parliament's control function. And if the ruling faction did not hear  sufficiently substantiated facts the day before, this does not mean  that the creation of the commission is not justified, he continued.

On September 9, Secretary of the parliamentary faction of the  opposition bloc "Armenia" Artsvik Minasyan, answering a question from  the Speaker of the National Assembly Alen Simonyan, said that the  opposition would come up with an initiative to create an  investigative commission on the implementation of the socio-economic  rights of the people of Artsakh. Simonyan, in particular, asked what  the opposition deputies are doing for the people of Karabakh. "The  corresponding draft resolution will be presented in the near future.  The draft envisages studying the actions taken and putting forward  proposals for the implementation of the socio-economic rights of the  population of Nagorno-Karabakh," Minasyan said, answering the head of  the parliament. On October 1, Minasyan said in the National Assembly  that the creation of the commission would be aimed at studying the  conditions for ensuring the life of the people of Artsakh, analyzing  the needs assessment system, inconsistencies in the programs being  implemented and stating facts. The goal of the commission should be  to directly work with the executive power to reveal and solve  problems, as well as achieve social integration of compatriots in the  Republic of Armenia, he added.
