The "Strong Armenia" bloc, which demanded to extend the sessions until 24:00, is 50% absent from the National Assembly hall, and about 80% is also absent from the "Armenia" bloc:
It should be noted that the candidate for the position of chairman of the commission on European integration, Harutyun Harutyunyan, is also absent from the discussions in the second half of the day, who, according to genre rules, should have listened to our speeches and responded to them:
This was stated by Sona Ghazaryan, a deputy of the "Civil Contract" faction, in her speech in the National Assembly:
She added that, addressing the European integration process, it can be noted that this process does not end with membership in the European Union; it is an endless process:
"To say that the destination of European integration is membership in the European Union is incorrect. The candidate, to put it mildly, does not understand what European integration is. Mr. Harutyunyan, when you have already said that you support EU membership, I hope that if there is a discussion about deploying a mission in Ukraine at some point, you will vote in favor:
By the way, membership in the European Union is not a bread line, as you present it — countries are not standing in line. It is a sequence of steps, not a queue to sell membership to countries:
The question arises: did you choose this commission to monitor EU membership or to monitor that such a process does not begin:
As a political force that has taken on the role of the torchbearer of European integration, you cannot even say from this podium that hybrid threats were coming from Russia, Ukraine is a candidate for EU membership, and you should accept Zelensky's visit very normally:
The person who wants to lead this commission should have minimal knowledge to advance the agenda:
The scenario may repeat: you have chosen the Eurointegration commission to repeat the scenario of Serge Sargsyan; we have seen the number 13," Ghazaryan said, addressing the candidate for the position of chairman of the Commission on European Integration, Harutyun Harutyunyan:
Let us remind you that the "Strong Armenia" faction has nominated Harutyunyan for the position of chairman of the permanent commission on European integration.
