    TENSIONS CONTINUE TO FLARE BETWEEN REPUBLICAN, PROSPEROUS ARMENIA PARTIES

    Yesterday's Brouhaha In Parliament Between The Republican And
    Prosperous Armenia (PAP) parties continued in today's session.

    The PAP MP's failed to take their seats in an apparent boycott. The
    only PAP MP in sight was Nayiri Zohrabyan who operated her blinking
    light to ask for time to address the body.

    Zohrabyan rose and said that Parliament Speaker Samvel Nikoyan had
    arbitrarily refused to acknowledge her yesterday as well when she
    tried to speak.

    She charged certain Republican Party MP's with making inappropriate
    remarks at yesterday's session when PAP MP's refused to participate
    in a vote on a bill to restrict certain cash transaction.

    Zohrabyan went on from the podium to charge the anti-corruption
    legislation passed over the years as a joke that has nothing to do
    with battling the socio-economic disease so rampant in Armenia.

    As the MP continued to speak, Parliamentary President Nikoyan suddenly
    turned off her microphone. But Zohrabyan continued reading her prepared
    message nevertheless.

    Republican Party faction leader Galust Sahakyan then requested the
    floor and motioned for a 20 minute recess.
