The parliamentary majority is not satisfactory in its actions. Seyran Ohanyan, leader of the opposition "Armenia" Faction in the National Assembly (NA) and former defense minister of Armenia, told about this to Armenian News-NEWS.am on Tuesday.

According to him, the actions of the incumbent Armenian authorities do not correspond to the created situation.

Ohanyan added that the authorities have been rejecting the opposition's proposals to hold hearings and discussions on urgent issues regarding Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).

"They explain such behavior with a tense situation, which is of a permanent nature. Does this mean that we should not engage in our activities? The actions of the parliament must be in line with the military-political situation of Armenia," the head of the "Armenia" Faction noted.

Also, Ohanyan called on Armenia’s authorities to assess the situation in and around Artsakh and the situation in Armenia and around Armenia at least once, especially when there is an escalation of tension at the border or in border settlements.

The former defense minister of Armenia said that the installation of the Artsakh national flag in the communities of Armenia is symbolic, adding, however, that it is not only the flag that should compel to pay a special attention to Artsakh.

In Ohanyan’s conviction, the current authorities are once again leading Armenia to defeat, humiliation, loss of sovereignty, and worsening of the Karabakh problem.

"Since when did visits to Karabakh start to cause harm to Karabakh or the border settlements of Armenia?" he asked, in particular

Ohanyan expressed confidence that these visits, on the contrary, help and cause to be clear-headed.

"First of all, it is necessary to resolve the security issue, to provide [political] assistance, to raise the level of relations between Armenia and Artsakh," he concluded.

The parliamentary opposition—the "Armenia" and "With Honor" factions—on Tuesday boycotted the regular four-day sittings of the NA. And before that, "Armenia" Faction leader Seyran Ohanyan had placed the national flag of Artsakh on the rostrum of the legislature.
