ArmInfo. I don't not think changing of the speaker of Armenian
parliament will lead to qualitative changing in the work of legislative
body, the leader of the Analytical Centre on Globalizing and Regional
Cooperation Stepan Grigoryan told ArmInfo correspondent.
'There will be no principle changing as the pro-governmental coalition
composes majority - 95% mandates. I think nothing will change because
of the speaker changing in such conditions', - he said.
At the same time the expert ruled out possibility of Armenia's image
changing in abroad, in particular, in European structures because
of Armenian parliament speaker changing, as in case of Armenia the
image of the country does not rest on the image of the parliament.
"Any parliament in the world where any political force has an
overwhelming majority of seats, cease playing the leading role in
the country's policy.
There are a lot of parliaments in the world which play the leading
role, but in these parliaments the power-opposition ratio is
approximately 51%:49%.
The change of the Speaker will change nothing, and it is not a matter
of personalities, the personal factor doesn't matter at all. In this
context it doesn't matter whether Tigran Torosyan or Hovik Abrahamyan
will be the Speaker", S.Grigoryan said in conclusion.
On Tuesday, Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly Tigran Torosyan
said at a press-conference that he will continue his work only as an
MP. Torosyan stressed that after his withdrawal from the Republican
Party of Armenia, he will remain an MP. To recall, Prosperous Armenia
Party, ARF Dashnaksutyun and Orinats Yerkir Party, RPA's partners in
the ruling coalition, have already stated that it is the RPA's right
to make a decision on change of the NA Speaker.
