Today the most prolonged session in the history of Tuvan Parliament came to a close. The deputies unanimously elected Vitali Valkov to the office of Vice-Chairman of the Legislative Chamber. After 2 long months of disharmony, the deputies also surprisingly elected heads to eight of the ten parliamentary committees-the remaining two posts will be filled during the next session. The first session of the new Parliament ended with the Russian and Tuvan national anthems being played.
