Guided by Article 17 of the Law of the Republic of Artsakh "Regulations of the National Assembly" and taking as a basis the decree of the National Assembly of the Republic of Artsakh, adopted on June 28, 2018, "On the establishment of the NA Interim Commission on Ethics to submit to the National Assembly conclusions regarding the violation of the rules of deputy ethics during the conflict, which occurred at the meeting on June 28, 2018, between the MPs Hayk Khanumyan and Zhanna Galstyan, " the NA Interim Commission on Ethics (hereinafter referred to as the Commission) at the meetings convened studied all the details, related to the incident, listened to the explanations of Zhanna Galstyan and Hayk Khanumyan, as a result of which the Commission concluded:

1. At the June 28 sitting of the National Assembly the political speech made by the MP Hayk Khanumyan was followed by MP Zhanna Galstyan's cursing which was not left unanswered by Hayk Khanumyan, has become turmoil and turned into a mutual blasphemy.
2. According to Article 4 (1) (4) of the Law on the Rules of Procedure of the National Assembly, the parliamentarian is obliged to comply with the Ethics Rules of the Deputy.
3. Article 3 of the Artsakh Republic Law "On Guarantees of the Activities of a Deputy of the Artsakh Republic National Assembly" regulates the rules of the deputy ethics.

Thus, according to part 2 of this article, rules of parliamentary ethics are as follows: respect the law and obey the law, respect the moral standards of the public, observe the procedure for holding meetings of the National Assembly, its commissions and parliamentary hearings, in implementing of their powers not to follow one's personal interests or personal interests of the persons interconnected with it, not to use the authority of a deputy in their own interests or in the interests of another person, promote building trust and respect for the National Assembly, everywhere and in the performance of any activity to show proper conduct to a deputy, respect political opponents and participants in the discussion of issues in the National Assembly, journalists, as well as to all those persons, with whom the deputy communicates in the implementing of the powers.

4. From the above it follows that the deputies did not observe the rules of ethics, established by law.
   The behavior of the latter is considered unacceptable, which is incompatible with the rules of parliamentary ethics and do not fit to our traditions.
5. We offer:

1. To discuss the issue of MP Zhanna Galstyan in the faction "Democracy"
2. To discuss the issue of Hayk Khanumyan in the executive body of the National Renaissance party

6. The Commission calls on the NA deputies to follow the rules of ethics in their future activities respect each other and exclude such incidents.
7. The present conclusion should be placed on the official website of the National Assembly and, in accordance with Paragraph 1 of Part 19 of the Artsakh Republic's "Rules of the National Assembly", to consider the Commission's powers to be complete.
