Armenian MPs to travel on business only in exceptional cases

During the special session of the parliament today the secretary of Armenian National Congress (HAK) faction Aram Manukyan asked the speaker Galust Sahakyan why Armenia declined to participate in the Athens forum of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC).

“Perhaps there is no money?” he asked.

Galust Sahakyan replied that they have to organize natural work of the parliament.

“I believe that as part of the organization of the parliament’s natural work, it will be possible for deputies to travel on business only in exceptional cases during four-day sessions,” the Armenian parliamentary speaker said.
