    WHY IS ARMENIA'S FOREIGN MINISTER AVOIDING COMING TO PARLIAMENT?

    10.31.2013 18:41 epress.am

    Why doesn't RA Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbandian come to
    the National Assembly? asked Armenian National Congress (HAK) MP Nikol
    Pashinyan during the discussion in parliament on the amount from the
    2014 state budget to be allocated to the foreign affairs ministry.

    The opposition MP expressed discontent at Nalbandian's absence,
    noting that before that, Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan was absent;
    meanwhile, parliament had said earlier that both the minister and the
    mayor would be present during discussion of the budget. This is not
    the first time that a deputy minister is representing Nalbandian in
    parliament, he said.

    Pashinyan stressed that he doesn't want to offend those standing in
    for Nalbandian (such as deputy minister Shavarsh Kocharyan), but the
    minister's presence is mandatory. Otherwise, according to Pashinyan,
    the MPs can also send their assistants to the discussions on their
    behalf.

    In Pashinyan's opinion, Nalbandian came to parliament once last year,
    and since his meeting with MPs was not pleasant for him, he is avoiding
    coming to parliament again.
