"Zhoghovurd" daily writes:
Hasmik Hakobyan, a deputy of the CP faction of the National Assembly, has changed his standing committee for issues of science, education, culture, diaspora, youth and sports in the parliament, going from there to the standing committee for foreign relations of the National Assembly. In KP, this once again gave a new reason to talk about why Hasmik Hakobyan actually changed the committee.
Some of the CP members told "Zhoghovurd" daily that the CP members raised a question with the leadership of the faction and the Speaker of the National Assembly Alen Simonyan: how is it that they do not get their business trips, but there are privileged people who do not turn a blind eye to business trips, and that one of the privileged ones, the members of the Communist Party claimed that it was Hasmik Hakobyan.
The reason is that Hasmik Hakobyan, sometimes abusing the closeness between himself and NA Speaker Alen Simonyan, also using his relationship with NA Chief of Staff Davit Arakelyan, is the first to find out about the invitations sent to the NA, then decides which format he wants to participate in, and how he decides. That's why he goes on business trips most often, which obviously created scenes of jealousy in the CP faction, where the complaints came from. Editorial office of "Zhoghovurd" daily newspaper: Hasmik Hakobyan has been frank among his close friends that in order to calm down the discussions in the team and to have a legal explanation, the committee should be changed.
Since, due to the nature of the work, the members of the NA Standing Committee on Foreign Relations go on business trips more often, being a member of this committee is a good excuse to justify the purpose of the business trips. In a conversation with "Zhoghovurd", CP faction deputy Hasmik Hakobyan confirmed that he changed the committee. , and the proposal was made by the leadership of the faction and the chairman of the NA Standing Committee on Foreign Relations, Sargis Khandanyan. in Union.
That delegation has 8 members in the Armenian parliament, one of which is me. In September, the youth conference of that structure took place in Armenia, most of my business trips, starting from 2021, are due to being a member of this international structure. there are plenary sessions, committee sessions, one of which I am also the vice-chairman. In other words, participating in the work of this structure is part of my activity, and most of my business trips are due to this. therefore, if there is an advantage compared to other MPs, it is due to this.
There are deputies who go on business trips more often than me, depending on their activity in international organizations. It is part of the activity of a deputy, not a voyage, as they imagine. By the way, the chairman of the committee and the leadership of our faction made the proposal to include him in the foreign relations committee." The deputy did not explain what his capabilities and intellectual abilities contributed to such a political decision.
Let's remind that before becoming a deputy, Hasmik Hakobyan was an administrative employee of the well-known "Half-Open Windows" program, then he worked at the "Araratnews" website headed by Alen Simonyan and had nothing to do with foreign relations."
