I'm telling you for the last time to keep on topic.

I am, unfortunately a non voting Hai, worried about my country where I intend retiring soon. We need peace amongst ourselves to survive. No heated debate from me.

Michael, I don't quite get what you're saying, but I'm worried that things might get tense. Let's set an example for political discussion in Armenia. Maybe I'm worrying over nothing, but things are likely to get heated and tense enough out there in the real world as the election draws closer. Michael, Nazarian, please, no heated debates.

I read about the incident... It does not state who took the factory from Hagopyan. Innuendos create suspicion leaving us wondering, as to who is honourable in here?

It's Choyt, not Lady. I think there are three Hakob Hakobians in parliament. Talk about confusing. Anyway, your Hakobian also got into a spot of bother while running as a candidate in Etchmiadzin last year as well. Yeah, it’s a different one. It’s Choyt, not Lady.

One of the Hakop Hakobians (don't remember which one) got into a scuffle with Kocharian's body guards. He ended up transferring a lot of his properties (one of them a concrete factory with contracts to supply materials to the Kirkorian's projects) in order to stay out of jail. One can only speculate who the new owner is :) There actually was a threat of lifting immunity a few months ago.

Anyway, given the make-up of the parliament since 1995 I suppose we could instead say "the likelihood of that is slim unless there is an order from WHOEVER is president." Anyway, I'm not sure it's a good thing. Probably I'd say it isn't, especially when you do consider the makeup of the parliament. I'm sure the immunity is part of the reason they enter in the first place. Of course, disputes can always be resolved with guns, but that probably makes the issue even worse. Yeah, I reckon it should be lifted, but on the other hand, it affords opposition MPs some protection, I suppose? The only time I remember it being lifted was in the case of Vano Siradeghian.

But since the majority there are unsavory characters, the likelihood of that is slim unless there is an order from SS or RK. An MP’s immunity can be lifted by the parliament according to the law.

I have no idea how it compares to other countries in the region although I'm sure information is available online somewhere. Regarding how many have defected, the article says two Republicans and five Dashnaks.
