site.btaARF Will Support Silvi Kirilov for Parliament Chair in Run-off

"We have to elect a Chair of the National Assembly," said MP Djevdet Chakarov from the Alliance for Rights and Freedom on Friday. 

Asked if it comes to a run-off between Raya Nazaryan and Silvi Kirilov whom they will support, Chakarov said the ARF will support the latter. "The situation is dynamic, we will have adequate behaviour. Our position is constructive, the parliament should work", he said.

He stressed that the National Assembly must start working. Chakarov explained that the ARF is in favour of examining all anti-corruption laws in the most urgent order. "First of all, this needs to be done in the judiciary, but there are a number of other issues that need to be addressed", Chakarov added.

In his words, the National Assembly needs to get to work because the country is lagging behind with the Recovery and Resilience Plan, as well as a number of European and operational programmes. Chakarov stressed that the budget has to be considered in context of the new realities.
