The lawmakers of the opposition Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaksutyun (ARF-D) are not going to participate in the scheduled voting to elect a National Assembly speaker and vice speakers.
"Considering the bitter experience of the past, we are hopeful you will do everything possible to ensure observance of the NA Rules of Procedure," Armen Roustamyan of the ARF-D faction in parliament told the newly elected lawmakers on Thursday.
Addressing the parliament, Edward Sharmazanov of the ruling Republican Party faction said that their only candidate for parliament speaker, Hovik Abrahamyan, is experienced enough to work effectively in the position.
The voting which started minutes ago is to finish in about an hour.
Under the National Assembly's Rules of Procedures, a candidate is considered elected in case of receiving 1/3 of votes.
