Parliament session fails to start due to lack of quorum amid election campaigning

The parliamentary session scheduled to begin on Tuesday morning failed to start due to a lack of quorum, with only five lawmakers registered.

Vice Speaker of Parliament Hakob Arshakyan, who was presiding over the session, said that registration would remain open for up to four hours in accordance with the rules of procedure.

The ruling Civil Contract party and the opposition Armenia Alliance are currently campaigning for the June 7 elections.
