Hetq won the “Media Excellence” prize yesterday at the 2014 Universal Rights awards ceremony held at the U.S. Embassy in Yerevan.
The “SOS Afrikyan Club Building” civic initiative continues to organize marches through the streets of downtown Yerevan to protest the dismantling of the historic Afrikyan building.
Prosperous Party MP Naira Zohrabyan has told Hetq that Azerbaijan has petitioned the forthcoming Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) plenary session in Strasbourg (23-27 June) and is seeking that members of the Armenian delegation be stripped of its voting rights.
Today, during an official visit to Georgia, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan signed two treaties designed to strengthen cooperation between the two neighboring countries.
There appears to be a split among the ruling authorities, and the opposition has to use this to its advantage, head of the Armenian National Congress faction Levon Zurabyan told Hetq, following a meeting with the three other minority factions (Heritage Party, Armenian Revolutionary Federation, and Prosperous Armenia Party) earlier today.
When the minority factions realized that the Republican Party, with its 70 MPs, failed to assemble the required 66 needed for a quorum, they walked out of the chamber along with the five deputies of the Rule of Law faction.
Official statistics do not back up the boastful claims by Armenian traffic police that the installation of speed cameras and other monitoring equipment has made a significant impact in decreasing road fatalities in the country.
