\n\t"The four non-ruling parliamentary parties' initiative to apply to the Ethics Committee of Senior Officials<\/strong><\/span><\/a> [AM] against Justice Minister Hrayr Tovmasyan, in fact, failed," reports local daily Haykakan Zhamanak<\/em>. \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe newspaper reports that this occurred after Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF-D) MP Armen Rustamyan in parliament yesterday recalled<\/strong><\/span><\/a> that Tovasyan (pictured) said to the four parliamentary factions (ARF-D, Heritage Party, Armenian National Congress, and Prosperous Armenia Party)"they're making a mistake"(said in crude and vulgar language) regarding the parties' intention to make a motion of no confidence against the government, then said, "If, for example, we say, 'You're making a mistake, chatlakh<\/em>' [said likewise in a crude manner], don't get offended."\n<\/p>\n

\n\tLater, speaking to reporters, Rustamyan, explained that chatlakh<\/em> (colloquially understood as "sleaze") means "cracked" or a "rift" in the Stepan Malkhasyan explanatory dictionary. The newspaper notes that the explanation is incomplete: according to the same dictionary, chatlakh<\/em> also refers to a female sexual organ. \n<\/p>\n

\n\t"The four parties last week decided to jointly appeal to the Ethics Committee of Senior Officials conjunct to the RA president[‘s office]. Yesterday, ahead of the special [parliamentary] session, the four parties agreed that head of the ARF-D faction Armen Rustamyan would say that they, the four [parties], are asking that Tovmasyan apologize on Wednesday (during the question-and-answer period with the government); otherwise, they'll appeal to the Committee. Rustamyan, however, didn't manage to say that. \n<\/p>\n

\n\t"Nevertheless, it's clear that if the 4 parties now appeal to the Ethics Committee, Hrayr Tovmasyan will do the same. Thus, the decision was cancelled," reports the paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
