A PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent in the parliament reported that although the project got a negative inference from the Standing Committee on Education, Science and Youth Affairs, the ARFD insists on including the draft law in the spring session agenda. Head of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary group Galust Sahakyan noted during the debates that April 24 is already marked by the Armenian people as a day of commemoration and grief and there is no need to attach another name to it. Meanwhile, ARF Dashnaktsutyun representative Artyusha Shahbazyan stated that the RPA “has forgotten the values professed by Garegin Nzhdeh that are fixed in the party's program.” Top stories The Cabinet of Ministers decided on Thursday, November 9 to allocated AMD 120 million to arrange the gathering.
