YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 15, NOYAN TAPAN. The autumn session of the RA
National Assembly started on September 15. 94 issues, including 12
international agreements, are on the agenda of sittings to be held
on September 15-17.
Among these issues is the conclusion of the NA Ad Hoc Committee on
the Inquiry into the March 1-2 Events in Yerevan and their Reasons.
The above mentioned ad hoc committee was set up on June 16, 2008
and it was to report on the results of its work by October 25,
2008. However, later the period of the ad hoc committee's work was
extended three times - by decisions of the National Assembly, and
the current deadline is September 15.
By the way, Hakob Hakobian - an accused person under the criminal
case opened in relation to the March 1-2 events, a NA deputy released
under an amnesty - took part in the NA session after a long absence.
In response to questions of reporters, H. Hakobian said that unlike
deputy Khachatur Sukiasian, who was charged in connection with the
same events and recently gave up his mandate, he has no intention to
lay down his mandate of NA deputy. In his words, he is not offended by
the act of his colleagues - National Assembly deputies who approved the
RA prosecutor general's petition of March 4, 2008, on involving Hakob
Hakobian and three other NA deputies - Khachatur Sukiasian, Myasnik
Malkhasian and Sasun Mikaelian as accused persons and arresting them.
H. Hakobian declared he will continue being a supporter of the first
President of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosian.
