No Quorum But No Harakiri Either: National Assembly Chair Not Displeased with Parliament

A meeting at the National Assembly didn’t take place today due to lack of quorum — at 12 pm, there were only 39 deputies (out of 131) in the room. According to the Assembly’s rules of procedures, another meeting has to be called three hours later in order to determine whether there is quorum at that time.

Reporters asked parliamentary speaker Samvel Nikoyan whether this lack of quorum is a regular occurrence. To which Nikoyan responded, if the last four-day parliamentary sittings are observed, it can be noted that there have been more sittings than usual.
