Hambartsumian stated that despite the fact that on October 4 he submitted a letter of resignation from the post, he did not consider his "service" of the Syunik region and Armenia completed. He noted that he could not remain indifferent to political events taking place in the country.

He noted that from now on he will continue to serve Syunik, Syunik and the state, investing his efforts in the matter of strengthening his region and homeland.
To note, on October 2, several tens of thousands of people gathered at the call of the RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan outside the Armenian parliament building in protest against the bill passed by the deputies, which makes it difficult for the parliament to be dissolved. The prime minister announced the dismissal of ministers and governors from the Prosperous Armenia and Dashnakutsutyun parties, as these forces voted in favor of the draft law. All the governors and ministers had already resigned, however, as is evident, Karen Ambartsuyamn decided to retain the post of governor, thus leaving his party.
