NA Speaker appreciates Parliament’s activities Published on 25 December, 2009
 Speaker of the RA Parliament Hovik Abrahamyan appreciates its activities this year. He pointed out that the Parliament enhanced its efficiency – it has adopted 327 laws this year. Abrahamyan stressed that the Parliament is now more influential as a political body.
“The Parliament must become a platform for discussing the most burning issues, and I will do my best for that. I want the criticism voiced in the streets to be discussed in Parliament,” Abrahamyan said. He stressed that the Parliament now has higher public reputation. This year the Parliament has received 5,562 letters and answered all of them. “We have spared no effort to make the Parliament closer to the people,” Abrahamyan said.
He also expressed his satisfaction with the work of Armenian parliamentary delegations to international agencies. “As regards the efficiency of activities within international agencies, Armenian delegations ranked among the top ten,” Abrahamyan said. Armenia is considered a serious state the great powers have to reckon with. All this is due to President Serzh Sargsyan’s active policy.
Speaking of his own achievements Speaker Abrahamyan pointed out that all of his trips abroad are most effective. “We signed a memorandum with the Iranian Parliament, whereas that country’s Parliament had never signed any document with any country before,” Abrahamyan said.
As regards the bills brought before Parliament, Abrahamyan reported that the Parliament is now considering a bill decriminalizing libel, and journalists will only be fined in such cases. “I think it is a very good bill. I do not think that a journalist must bear criminal responsibility for libel, but he must at least be held financially responsible,” Abrahamyan said. He pointed out that all “reasonable” proposals by journalists can be considered.
Speaking of his personal life, Abrahamyan said: “I want a boy to be born into our family next year – a future soldier of the Armenian army.” Speaker Abrahamyan also expressed wish that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict be settled as soon as possible and a long-lasting peace established in the region.
