The daily Azg writes that today is the tenth anniversary of assassination in the Armenian parliament when the prime minister of the country, parliament speaker and a number of members of parliament were murdered. Azg asks what can we say after ten years? Though the direct murderers were judged and received their punishment neither of the relatives of the victims accepts that the crime is disclosed, those who `order`ed it are not known or they did not exist. The daily says if without impediments you enter the National Assembly, kill the prime minister of the country and the speaker of the parliament it is a crime directed against your country, your state and it means that the security of your country was on a zero level at that moment. The daily says ten years passed from that day but we do not know anything more about that terrible massacre than we did in 1999. The daily Kapital writes that head of the Social Insurance State Service Vazgen Khachikyan stated yesterday that the implementation of reforms in the sphere of pensions is being postponed agreed with the negative impact of the crisis and flaws in the legislation. The daily says Armenia is planning to pass to the assembling pensions system from January 1, 2011. Kapital says the assembling system supposes that people under 40 years old will have individual assembling accounts on which sums in the measure of their social payments will be transferred and which will be a basis for pensions’ calculation. The daily also writes that while making a decision about the existence of unfair competitiveness a court takes into consideration a number of circumstances – including the intentions of the company registering the brand, history of the creation of the brand, who first used it. The daily says in recent period a new type of unfair competition has raised in Armenia – registering of the brand of others – the sense is the following a company registers a brand not to produce it but to press the competitors in the market. Kapital says this is though not just Armenian phenomenon – all the countries which tried to implement brand protection mechanisms faced the issue and particularly in the post-soviet countries the new companies register the brands well-known in other countries but unlike Armenia in many of post-soviet countries serious fight is held against unfair competitiveness cases. The daily Hayots Ashkhar writes that Gagik Minasyan head of the Armenian NA’s budget, financing standing committee within the framework of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Parliamentary Assembly had an opportunity to contact with Turkish parliamentarians. “The ones representing opposition were insisting that they will vote against the Armenian-Turkish protocols as they cannot live their Azerbaijani brothers in the Nagorno Karabakh issue. As to the parliamentarians representing the authorities he said they are majority in the parliament and will vote for,” the daily cited Minasyan as saying.-0-/45/
