They can’t find a candidate

03/06/2006

Yesterday there was a session with the participation of the coalition, i.e. ARF, ARP and ULP. The head of the NA People’s Deputy faction, Karen Karapetyan was also present. According to Tigran Torosyan, they only discussed the issue of electing the NA speaker and the parliamentary agenda for Wednesday. Tigran Torosyan is the candidate proposed by the coalition. In fact, there were rumors in the parliament saying that the NA will not have a new vice speaker for the next couple of months because the coalition hasn’t decided whom to give that position. It is said that Karen Karapetyan is the most possible candidate, but he says that these rumors are not true. As for the ULP, they have already been given positions and this is not enough for them. There are rumors that the ULP will be given one more position in the future. According to our information, ULP representative, MP Mnatsakan Petrosyan will be appointed head of the NA faction on social issues. As for the head of the NA faction on security issues, that position will be given to the ARF.
