Honestly, I Am Emotional: Naira Zohrabyan

NAIRA ZOHRABYAN, a member of the ANPP faction and chair of the Standing Committee on Human Rights and Public Affairs of the National Assembly, wrote on her Facebook page: "Today, we all together did the kindest act. Just a while ago, the Parliament voted in favor of the draft law criminalizing cruel treatment of animals, which I and my colleagues presented to the National Assembly for the first reading.

Honestly, I am emotional. Over the years, I have presented dozens of legislative initiatives, very important and necessary ones, but it was the first time that I nervously watched the voting board. I consider this draft one of the most important laws ever adopted by the Parliament. Thank you to everyone who supported the adoption of this law. Live well, everyone. And be sure that even if people ever forget any good deed you have done, animals will never forget the kindness."
