“LET THE STUBBORN GROUPS WORK AND NOT MAKE REQUIREMENTS”

Today the Parliament did not put the RA draft law on «Amendments to the Regulations of the National Commission on Television and Radio» to vote. Tigran Torosyan called on the “«stubborn groups» not to complain and to demand to take back the draft but to make clear-cut suggestions.
As for whom Tigran Torosyan meant by saying «stubborn groups» - “All those who demand to take the draft back instead of making suggestions about them”.
Let us remind you that the amended Constitution demands to amend the law. According to the previous law, the members of the National Committee on Television and Radio were appointed by the President. According to the new Constitution and the new Law, they must be appointed by the President and the NA. Nevertheless, according to some provisions of the Constitution, the members of the Committee stay there till the end of their office, that is, even if the Law in amended, the new one will come into force only in 2011. Today, the oppositional deputies mainly offered to organize public hearings before putting the draft to vote.
“I have an impression that the draft was written by Grigor Amalyan. Besides, I think that the Minister of Justice is more professional and would not make mistakes which are present in the draft”, Stepan Zaqaryan from “Justice” told “A1+”.
Co-author of the present Law on Television and Radio Shavarsh Kocharyan found several grave mistakes in the draft and called on all the deputies to vote it down.
Nevertheless, NA Speaker Tigran Torosyan said that the best time to improve the draft is the time period between the first and second hearings. But as far as the NA Speaker is to leave Armenia tomorrow morning, it’s hard to say whether the draft will ever be voted.
