    IMPRESSIVE VOTE OF CONFIDENCE FOR HOVIK ABRAHAMYAN
    Lilit Poghosyan

    Armenia

    Yesterday, the National Assembly started its regular four-day session.

    Considering Tigran Torosyan's resignation accepted, the Parliament
    initiated discussions for the election of a new Speaker, under the
    leadership of Vice Speaker Hrayr Karapetyan.

    Before passing on to the main subject of our material, let's note
    that Tigran Torosyan also participated in the session, already in the
    status of an independent MP. However, after the person presiding over
    the session announced the start of the voting, the ex-Speaker left
    the hall and never returned. Neither did he participate in the voting.

    Karen Karapetyan, leader of the Republican faction, proposed Hovik
    Abrahamyan as the united candidate of the coalition.

    Thereafter, "Heritage" faction, in the person of Armen Martirosyan,
    proposed Larisa Alaverdyan's candidacy as an alternative.

    This imparted a noticeable liveliness and even certain acuteness to
    the process. As to the results, they are quite impressive. Of the
    115 MPs participating in the voting, 110 cast their vote in favor of
    Hovik Abrahamyan.

    Newly elected Speaker H. Abrahamyan promised "to create an atmosphere
    of mutual respect, tolerance and partnership for ensuring the
    normal and effective work of the Parliament. I believe all of you
    will agree that representing the country's20top legislative body and
    especially, ensuring its normal work requires specific human qualities:
    determination to take bold decisions, as well as ability and will to
    make mutual concessions.

    The coordination of the activities of the legislative body also
    requires very plain and open personal contacts and certainly,
    political experience."
