It was not possible to find out from Baba’s members why Babayan left the commission. Andranik Kocharyan, who played his role very well, did not answer RFE / RL’s calls.
The representative of the government Alen Simonyan stated about the necessity of examining the circumstances of the war in the National Assembly, before the National Assembly of the 8th convocation had not been formed yet. Ten months have passed since that announcement, but the actual work of the commission has not started yet, there were two open sessions of a technical nature two months ago.
For months before the formation of the commission, the authorities were looking for legal ways to circumvent the NA Rules of Procedure and to form the commission on a larger scale, including the extra-parliamentary forces. Those solutions remained in the air.
