The Armenian National Assembly’s Standing Committee on European Integration is now debating two domestic violence bills that have sparked heated controversy and shouting matches between supporters and detractors.
Russia will extend up to US$100 million to Armenia in the form of a 15-year export loan with which to buy Russian-made armaments.
Naira Zohrabyan, a member of Armenia’s Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) delegation, reports that none of the candidates for the post of PACE President obtained a majority in the first round of voting today.
Krist Maroukyan, a member of the Vanadzor Municipal Council representing the Lousavor Hayastan (Bright Armenia) faction, describes the expenditure as “having fun during the plague.”
Yelk Alliance MP Nikol Pashinyan claims that Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) MP Artashes Geghamyan attacked him today in the halls of the National Assembly.
By a vote of 83 to 7, Armenia’s National Assembly today ratified an agreement allowing for the creation of a joint Russian-Armenian military command.
Pashinyan wanted to know if Russia would get involved if Armenia was attacked along its border with Azerbaijan as well as along its border with Turkey. Zakaryan only responded that the joint structure would work as a collective security system.
