succeeded in nearly completing the process of bringing the Armenian

discussions on urgent problems of Armenia, work more actively in
international parliamentary organizations and promote bilateral
relations with partners. "I think the parliament will have new and
interesting initiatives in 2008," the speaker of the National Assembly
said.
