Deputies General Manvel Grigoryan and Samvel Aleksanyan were “forcibly subjected” to the National Assembly Hall, for participating in the vote on the bill on amendments to the Ethics Committee.
It should be noted that prior to that, when the bill was put to vote, there were 63 delegates and the RPA president Galust Sahakyan asked for 20 minute break.
In the end, the bill passed with 70 votes in favor, 11 against and 17 abstained.
Note that after the amendments it was decided the ethics committee will be formed by 3 representatives from the opposition, 3 –from the government and 1 “alternative” representative. The proposed use of the veto was removed from the project.
