ArmInfo. The Bright Armenia Party held a protest in front of the Presidential Administration building on May 15.
Party leader and RA Prime Minister candidate Edmon Marukyan noted that, according to the Constitution, the president is the head of state. "We came here to get an answer to one question: will we be proud of this man after June 7, or will we be ashamed? We don't want a president who resembles a British king. We don't need a head of state who, when he sees Ilham Aliyev, bows to him more than any Azerbaijani official. We don't need a president who has no disagreements with the executive, legislative, or judicial branches of government on any issue," said Edmon Marukyan.
He added that the head of state should act as a counterweight, not sign scandalous and controversial bills, and submit inquiries to the Constitutional Court. Meanwhile, everyone in the country has a president with zero authority.
Marukyan urged voters to vote for the Bright Armenia party in the upcoming elections, the only political force with a distinct vision for the presidency. By voting for the party, they will have the opportunity to change this disgraceful institution. "Even if he doesn't step down, we will remove him through impeachment. But if we succeed, he will very quickly resign," Marukyan noted, recalling the shameful statement by RA President Vahagn Khachaturyan, who recently declared in Kirants that he was seeing the country's land border for the first time. "Essentially, this person is repeating Azerbaijan's argument that all borders with Armenia are arbitrary, except for the 12.9 kilometers that have been delimited. The time is near, and we will push him away. With this symbolic action, we want to remind the people that there is such an institution as the presidency, which everyone has forgotten," the politician noted.
