The work of Armenian parliamentary delegation in OSCE is productive enough. No OSCE PA sitting passed without Armenian delegation’s raising national issues, Orinats Yerkir parliamentary group member Khachik Harutyunyan said.

Suggestions of Armenian delegation were accepted, unlike those of Azeri delegation, he noted at RA NA briefing, citing the issue on closed borders, raised by Armenian delegation during autumn session.

Commenting on Larisa Alaverdyan’s non-participation in the oncoming PACE summit, the MP emphasized, “Even in her absence we’ll be able to properly present Armenia’s interests.”

Orinats Yerkir party was founded in 1997.

After March 12, 2007 parliamentary elections Orinats Yerkir became part of ruling coalition, being presented in RA NA by 8 members. 3 ministerial positions are occupied by Orinats Yerkir members in Armenian Government. Party leader Artur Baghdasaryan is currently the Secretary of RA National Security.

At present the party lists over 100 000 members.
