Surprising Reaction to the Commission's Vote on NSS and Police Officials: Marukyan
Edmon Marukyan expressed surprise that after the first reading of their draft bill, the State and Legal Affairs Committee issued a negative conclusion during the second reading. The head of the LHK faction made this statement today from the parliamentary podium.
The draft pertains to allowing individuals who are not from within the system to be appointed as heads of the NSS and police. According to Marukyan, this conclusion is based on the experience gathered during this time. The parliamentarian indicated that this experience has shown that no real reforms have taken place in these systems.
The faction leader emphasized that the negative conclusion from the committee is surprising, as the political majority had previously expressed support for the adoption of the law.
