Armenia Left without Hymn for Some Days
Armenia's National Assembly will hold a special session within the next few days aiming at adopting the bill "On Hymn" in final reading, Prime-Minister Andranik Markaryan said. "Unfortunately we did not have time to adopt the law in second and third readings, it is very unpleasant. In fact within the next few days from legal point of view Armenia will not have a hymn," the Prime Minister remarked. Touching on the causes of such situation Markaryan noted, that by his estimations for final adoption of the law just there was not enough time in Parliament. "We should take into consideration the fact that this very law regulates an issue that we cannot discuss in quick procedure," said the Prime Minister, reports IA Regnum.
