“Preliminary version of the bill on domestic violence prevention is problematic”. Sharmazanov
I consider the initial version of the draft law on Domestic Violence Prevention problematic. Vice Speaker of the National Assembly Eduard Sharmazanov told reporters after the session of the Supreme Body of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA).
“This legislative initiative, which has a preliminary form, is problematic. Many of our party partners are also concerned here. We have already begun discussions and in the coming days our party will present its proposals, “the RPA spokesman said.
According to Eduard Sharmazanov, RPA is a conservative party, therefore, they are for the national values, the traditional family.
“The Republicans are for the traditional national family. And the provisions contradicting our Constitution and national traditional values are problematic and we have to discuss and present new approaches. I think it should be changed from the original form. As a Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, I have seen some of the worrying provisions, and we have already made suggestions. In this form, this is a problematic legislative initiative. We must do everything possible so that we do not endanger our traditional family values and on the other hand we must condemn violence. No accepts violence, everyone is against it. Violence has never been a form of functioning of the Armenian family. “Sharmazanov emphasized, adding that the role of mother and mother in the Armenian society has always been great.
