Two newly elected MPs from ruling party decided to resign their  mandates

ArmInfo.  Two newly elected members of the National Assembly of Armenia of the 9th convocation from the ruling Civil Contract party, Tavros Sapeyan and Vagharshak  Hakobyan, have decided to resign their mandates.

On his Facebook page, Tavros Sapeyan, the mayor of Talin, announced  his intention to continue serving as the mayor of the community. "I  would like to announce that I am stepping down as a member of the  National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia and will continue my  work as the head of the Talin community. I made this decision based  on the trust of my fellow citizens, their expressed will, and the  conviction that today I can be most useful here, alongside you. For  me, the people's trust and opinion have been and remain the highest  responsibility. This decision was carefully considered and is based  on one simple conviction: today, my main mission and task is here, in  Talin," Sapeyan noted.

Vagharshak Hakobyan, in turn, announced his intention to move to the  private sector. "I have decided to continue my work in the private  sector. To this end, I have submitted my resignation from my seat in  the National Assembly of the 9th convocation, which will be  officially submitted to the Central Electoral Commission of the  Republic of Armenia tomorrow. I would like to express my deep  gratitude to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who, as a result of the  2018 revolution, restored the fundamental right to vote to citizens  of the Republic of Armenia. Over the years, Armenia has become a more  democratic, more sovereign, more independent, and, most importantly,  more peaceful state. I am proud to say that the National Assembly of  the Republic of Armenia and the ruling Civil Contract faction, of  which I am also honored to be a member, have played a vital role in  this process. At the same time, I would like to inform you that this  decision was made in consultation with the Prime Minister and the  board of the Civil Contract party. I remain a member of the party and  will continue to actively participate in its activities, providing  comprehensive support to my political team," emphasized Vagharshak  Hakobyan.
