PARLIAMENT MAJORITY UNFAZED BY BID TO IMPEACH ARMENIAN PRESIDENT.
Leaders of the majority Miasnutiun parliament faction and others that
support President Robert Kocharian dismissed on 30 May as "unserious"
the renewed bid by six opposition politicians to force a debate on
Kocharian's impeachment, Noyan Tapan and RFE/RL's Yerevan bureau
reported. The six hope to obviate the need to collect the signatures
of at least 44 deputies in support of such a debate by adducing a new
parliament statue that allows any deputy to table a motion related to
a topic under discussion (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 30 May 2002). But
Miasnutiun faction head Galust Sahakian said there is no such logical
connection between the impeachment demand and the debate on the
report submitted by the parliament commission formed to monitor the
investigation into the October 1999 parliament shootings. He
dismissed the initiative as "a new way of creating tensions." LF
