Coalition to establish control over implementation of Interim Committee's report
Armenia's National Assembly Thursday hosted discussions over Republican Party representative David Harutyunyan's draft decision on vesting State and Legal Affairs Committee with the authority of monitoring the implementation of the final report submitted by the interim committee investigating March 1, 2008 incidents.

Draft decision was met with the protest of "Heritage" faction, particularly its leader Stepan Safaryan, who expressed doubts as to the ruling party's impartiality. He called on MPs to support ARFD's proposal on creating a separate committee dealing with monitoring issues.

Nonetheless, the country's supreme legislative body approved the decision.
