Authorities responsible for wars and enormous human losses preparing  for their re-election by concealing reality - opposition MP

ArmInfo. The country experienced the 44-day war of 2020, the subsequent aggression, armed attacks, and enormous human and territorial losses. And in these circumstances, the authorities responsible are preparing for their reelection by concealing the reality.

This is how National Assembly member Tigran Abrahamyan, from the  opposition "I Have the Honor" faction, responded to the refusal to  include the report of the parliamentary commission investigating the  circumstances of the 44-day war in Nagorno-Karabakh in the Armenian  parliamentary agenda.

In this regard, he recalled that the authorities had previously  stated that the Investigative Committee of the National Assembly was  the body charged with investigating and clarifying the circumstances  of the 44-day war, and that after its work was completed, the public  would receive answers to all questions.

"Meanwhile, what did the government do today? They violated the  commission's deadlines and then declared that the law no longer  allows for the presentation of the report at a plenary session of  parliament under these circumstances. Previously, they assured that  part of the report would be presented in an open format, while the  classified portion would be closed," the MP recalled.

However, despite this, as Abrahamyan noted, the report is now only  accessible to individuals with appropriate confidentiality clearance,  in a strictly limited number, and, moreover, according to the  principle of non-publicity.

As a reminder, Armenian Parliament Speaker Alen Simonyan refused to  include the report of the parliamentary commission investigating the  circumstances of the 44-day war in Nagorno-Karabakh on the agenda of  the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia. At the time, it was  noted that the basis for this decision was the authorities' desire  "to prevent negative consequences in light of the ongoing process of  normalizing relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan."
