The draft law of the civil legislative initiative “HayaVote” is being discussed at the extraordinary session of the RA NA Standing Committee on State-Legal Affairs.
The main speaker, deputy of the “Armenia” faction, Artsvik Minasyan, said that for the first time there is a successful precedent, when the necessary 50 thousand signatures are submitted as a civil initiative.
“Especially the value of this initiative lies in the fact that it refers to important national issues, that is, the unconditional recognition of Artsakh‘s right to self-determination and condemning any action directed against it as a criminal act and criminalizing the actions against the Armenian Genocide,” said Minasyan.
According to him, the right to self-determination of the people of Artsakh is subject to protection.
“The adoption of such a statement by the National Assembly is extremely important in terms of demonstrating the consistency of the Artsakh issue on the international stage, because if the political forces announced this in their pre-election program and do not implement it, it turns out that they have deceived the public, and in the international arena it is perceived that RA political forces are doing the exact opposite,” the deputy emphasized.
