YEREVAN. – In actual fact, the natural gas agreements with Russia were not ratified at the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia on Monday, Haykakan Zhamanak daily reports.    

“The [ruling Republican Party] RPA [MPs’] claims that they are validated are simply bubbles. 

“There is no NA Audit Committee decision as to who voted ‘for,’ [and] who [voted] ‘against’ [these agreements].    

“In order to legally record the voting results, the Audit Committee needs to make a respective decision. And the committee can make such a decision solely by a majority vote.    

“At least four members of the seven-member Audit Committee have not prepared and signed under any record. And this means that the agreements have not been ratified, the voting has failed,” Haykakan Zhamanak writes.
