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.
