GAGIK TSARUKYAN CAN BE STRIPPED OF DEPUTY MANDATE ALREADY TODAY - ARMTIMES.COM
11:45 | February 16,2015 | Politics
Chairman of the Armenian Parliament Galust Sahakyan has allegedly
applied to the Central Election Commission, asking the CEC to strip
lawmaker Gagik Tsarukyan of his mandate, armtimes.com reports.
Sahakyan submitted the relevant petition with the CEC this morning.
This means the CEC can take a decision today to de jure deprive Mr
Tsarukyan of his mandate. This is an unexpected development because
everybody expected the issue to be put to a vote at the plenary
session of the National Assembly - something stipulated by Article
99 of the NA Regulations.
On February 12, Serzh Sargsyan told senior members of his ruling
Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) that Gagik Tsarukyan is 'evil'
and must be immediately ousted from politics. He also said relevant
bodies will study Tsarukyan's frequent absences from the parliament
sessions, noting that the BHK leader had attended only four of the
145 NA sessions in 2013 and 2014.
We remind that Haykakan Zhamanak daily has a document showing that
Gagik Tsarukyan's absences from the previous fall session were
considered to be excused absences. It turns out that Galust Sahakyan
will have to annul his decision to consider Tsarukyan's absences from
NA sessions as excusable.
