NA President Ruben Rubinayan stated during the August 14 session that opposition candidates for the commission chair will not be automatically selected. He emphasized that they will listen and make a decision based on their impressions:
"Aram Vardevanyan is not at all my dream candidate for the vice-speaker of the NA, but I chose him because I understand that this position is given to the opposition, and I do not want this to be a zero-sum game," said Rubinayan.
