Heated discussions were held at the parliament around the government-submitted bill on "Legal Regime for a State of Emergency" clearly defining the relations between armed forces and citizens in a state of national emergency.
The voting on the draft law has been postponed for the lack of quorum.
Ruling Republican party MP Rafik Petrosyan spoke against adopting the bill in its present form. With reference to the RA Constitution he said that the armed forces should not be involved in politics and a political struggle, they should not interfere in political processes.
"Politics is none of militaries' business, let's leave our army alone. So, now my son or my grandson must come and shoot at me for holding a rally?!" he said in frustration.
