Should We Acquiesce to the 'Whims' of Female MPs?
The newspaper 'Hraparak' reports: Newly appointed Vice-Speaker Lena Nazaryan told journalists that she will not grant interviews conducted via phone video. In general, female MPs have 'whims': 'Don’t take a picture of me from the side; I look bad,' 'You should post a nice picture, right?' Experience shows that sometimes it is possible to accommodate them, but not to 'give in,' and then they resort to ultimatums: 'I won’t give a phone interview,' 'I won’t answer questions from opposition journalists,' 'The questions must not be critical.'
Ms. Nazaryan seems to have forgotten that just months ago she was willing to give interviews even using a Soviet 'Jupiter' tape recorder. Now, she is already proud and serves as the Vice-Speaker of the National Assembly.
