Hraparak writes since it was decided that Hermine Naghdalyan would not take the office of the vice speaker of the parliament she stopped attending the NA sittings

The semi-weekly 168 Zham writes that former President of Georgia Eduard Shevarnadze in an interview to a Georgian newspaper expressed concern that the construction of the highway linking Armenia and Batumi may create serious ethnographic issues for Georgia. “Look at Abkhazia, there are more Armenians there than Abkhazians,” he told the Georgian newspaper. Shevarnadze also did not exclude that the Georgian authorities will go to concessions and will return to Armenia the so-called disputable churches. The paper says during the visit of the President Serzh Sargsyan to Georgia, issues on speeding up the process of construction of the highway were discussed, unlike the former president the incumbent Mikheil Saakashvili is convinced that the construction of the highway will increase the number of Armenian tourists visiting Georgia.

The daily Hraparak writes since it was decided that Hermine Naghdalyan would not take the office of the vice speaker of the parliament she stopped attending the NA sittings. The paper writes that when even the most exotic members of the RPA were participating in the sitting, she was not there. The paper says it possesses information that she may not only be absent at the NA sitting of this convention but the other as well. The only issue, continues the paper, is that Naghdalyan is the chairwoman of the RPA Women Council and if she is not included in the coming list of the RPA, the women of the party will not give their voice to her. The paper says Hovik Abrahamyan did not attend the sitting as well.
