10 out of 27 ARFD-proposed bills received Government's disapproval
In a November 17 Parliament session, leader of ARFD faction Vahan Hovhannisyan announced that 10 out of 27 ARFD-proposed bills received Government's disapproval.
Among rejected bills was the one proposing amendments to RA Law "On Holidays and Commemoration Days", he said.
Besides, Hovhannisyan added, ARFD proposed amendments to Criminal Code, envisaging criminal liability for individuals questioning the fact of Armenian Genocide. "We revoked the bill ourselves as we didn't want it to receive negative assessment by Government," Hovhannisyan stressed.
ARFD faction leader accounted for Government's negative attitude by plans of creating an Armenian-Turkish historical sub-commission. "Armenia's involvement in the sub-commission redirects the countries policy in the interests of Armenian people," he said.
