RPA members, including Shushan Petrosyan, given guidance – paper

According to Yerkir daily, members of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia resolved to have a good rest in summer, in view of hard work they’ll have to face at parliament upon their return.

According to Yerkir, the MPs are seriously concerned. “The MPs realize that despite being in parliamentary majority, serious issues may occur during enactment of bills. After internal calculations at RPA, it became clear that 39% of the party members are in the habit of shirking parliamentary sittings.

At present, RPA leadership is developing mechanisms to force MPs into attending the sittings. “A separate conversation was held with singer Shushan Petrosyan, who was instructed to forget about lengthy tours, which the songstress clearly didn’t like,” the daily said.
