MP Aram Harutyunyan’s case one in a long chain: Edmon Marukyan

The lack of quorum in the NA for discussion of the petition to start criminal proceeding against lawmaker Aram Harutyunyan was expected, Yelk faction MP Edmon Marukyan told the reporters today.

“It was obvious that they would not come and the session would not take place. The PM stated about this case long ago. I think no quorum will be ensured till elections,” he said, adding that he thinks there is no issue in it and it is possible to wait.

The MP stressed that this is not the only revelation but just the one in the chain.

Marukyan stressed that he does not consider this process as a pre-electoral trick as the acting PM has stated about it long time ago, noting that just one document lacks for submitting petition for the arrest of the lawmaker.

“I guess this document has just arrived, that it why they submitted petition now,” he said.
