Hrant Bagratyan proposes convening special session of parliament
At the Armenian parliament’s sitting today, deputy of ‘Armenian National Congress’ (HAK) faction Hrant Bagratyan proposed convening a special session of the National Assembly on December 17 due to the situation in the currency market and the devaluation of the Armenian dram.
The parliamentary vice speaker Edward Sharmazanov said in response that the authorities are not against. In his words, the problem worries everyone and discussions would be useful, but not at an amateur level and in front of video cameras.
“We can hold a closed discussion so that there will be no temptation to speak in front of cameras,” he noted.
Hrant Bagratyan replied he has no objection to holding closed discussions.
