YEREVAN. – Hraparak daily writes that even though Armenian National Assembly (NA) MPs’ vacations ended on August 18, it is still a non-working environment at the NA building. 

“Renewal of the heating system has not ended, there is construction waste at the corridors, the rooms are not furnished yet, and, even if NA MPs very much wish to carry out legislative work, they will not be able to.

This shows that the notions about [NA Speaker] Hovik Abrahamyan being an organizer are exaggerated. Or, he is fully indulged in the local government elections [to be held in September]. To note, he is the [ruling Republican Party] RPA’s coordinator for the local government elections,” Hraparak writes.
