    FORMATION OF RA NATIONAL ASSEMBLY STANDING COMMITTEES COMPLETED

    YEREVAN, JUNE 23, NOYAN TAPAN. The new Armenian government is likely to
    submit the program of its activities to the National Assembly on June
    25, the RA National Assembly speaker Tigran Torosian said at the June
    22 press conference.

    According to him, the formation of the NA standing committees was
    eventually completed the day before, with 12-15 deputies being included
    in each of the 9 standing committees. The NA delegations in
    international organizations have not been formed yet. Taking this fact
    into account, it was decided to send the deputies - members of the
    previous convocation NA's delegations in PACE and OSCE PA for
    participation in the work of the PACE to start on June 25 and the work
    of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly to start in late July.

    The chairman of the NA Standing Committee of Foreign Relations, ARF
    faction member Armen Rustamian and RPA faction member Hermine
    Naghdalian have already left for Strasbourg in order to participate in
    the work of the PACE. In T. Torosian's words, the PACE Bureau's report
    to be presented at the summer session will contain a section on the May
    12 parliamentary elections in Armenia but it is envisaged to hold a
    discussion without adopting a resolution.

    The head of the previos NA delegation in the OSCE PA, vice speaker of
    the parliament, ARF faction member Vahan Hovhannisian, and probably RPA
    faction member Samvel Nikoyan will participate in the work of the OSCE
    PA.

    T. Torosian who headed the previous NA delegation in PACE, said that it
    is an important international organization for Armenia. Although
    another deputy will head the delegation to be formed soon, the NA
    speaker will keep this deputy in the center of his attention and assist
    him.

    T. Torosian stated that as previously, the parliament's work will be
    open to reporters. In his words, the new building behind the main NA
    building, which is being constructed and will be put into operation in
    the summer of 2008, will improve the working conditions of both
    deputies and reporters. The autumn session to start in September 2008
    will be held in the reconstructed hall of sittings.
