No quorum was obtained at the Armenian National Assembly (NA) Sessions' Hall, when voting on the draft law on the Legal Regime of the State of Emergency, opposition Heritage Party MP Larisa Alaverdyan stated at the parliament floor on Wednesday, March 21 Justice Minister Hrayr Tovmasyan's explanations were not satisfactory for Alaverdyan, and therefore she continued to voice her complaint, but NA Speaker Samvel Nikoyan turned off Alaverdyan's microphone. Not withstanding this, the Heritage MP continued her respective remarks out loud. This is not the first time that the ruling coalition MPs are voting in place of their fellow coalition deputies at the NA Sessions' Hall, thereby obtaining an artificial quorum to pass a bill. The Heritage MPs have complained about such work method on numerous occasions, and they even stand up during voting to clearly see who is voting instead of someone else.
