Armenian Time. The extraordinary meeting of the National Assembly's Standing Committee on Financial and Budgetary Affairs is underway, during which MP Tsovinar Vardanyan from the "Civil Contract" faction has been proposed as a candidate for the position of deputy chair of the committee:
Her biography was presented by fellow faction MP Arusyak Manavazyan, after which MP Edgar Ghazaryan from the "Strong Armenia" faction addressed the reporter, noting that MP Tsovinar Vardanyan's father held the positions of Minister of State of the Republic of Armenia in 1993, Deputy Minister of Defense from 1995 to 1998, and Minister of Nature Protection from 1998 to 2000.
Ghazaryan inquired whether these circumstances do not create a conflict from the perspective of the faction's overall value system regarding the nomination of this candidate.
Manavazyan addressed the chair of the meeting and the leadership of the "Strong Armenia" faction, referring to Edgar Ghazaryan's actions.
Manavazyan emphasized that Ghazaryan targets the female MPs of the National Assembly, posts their photos on his page, makes cynical remarks, and poses cynical questions during committee meetings, which is why she refuses to answer any of Ghazaryan's questions.
"I will not answer any questions, and I consider this your faction's decision to allow this individual to have the right to ask questions," she said.
The chair of the meeting stated that the right not to answer a question is the reporter's right, but limiting the participation of an MP is not quite right.
