Parliamentary opposition of Armenia demands extraordinary meetings of  Parliament on urgent domestic and foreign issues   

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.
