ArmInfo. The son-in-law of the former head of the Police of the RA Vladimir Gasparyan, the deputy from the parliamentary faction of the RPA, the president of the boxing federation Arthur Gevorgyan leaves the RPA. Gevorgyan said this on his Facebook page.
In a statement already ex-Republican, in particular, it is said that recently the Armenian people, both in Armenia and abroad, "live and breathe Armenia." "Today our voice is heard, it's time to take advantage of the historic opportunity," he said.
According to Gevorgyan, it is necessary to self-organize within the country and, as a result, to take a favorable position in foreign policy. According to Gevorgyan, he does not want to be a witness of the struggle between the parliamentary majority and the people's movement. "The struggle is inappropriate and extremely dangerous," he wrote.
"I inform that I voluntarily leave the RPA, as well as the Republican faction," said Arthur Gevorgyan. The goal is to help reduce tension in the parliament. In addition, he believes, the solution to the political crisis that has emerged cannot be sought only in holding early elections. At present, as the ex-republican noted, it will be more correct to create more peaceful and predictable conditions for the Cabinet to improve the efficiency of the government's work. "By this step, we will give a chance to the newly created and inexperienced government to concentrate on the plans," he said, adding that "it is necessary to give the opportunity, and then to demand, and not to interfere, and then accuse". According to Arthur Gevorgyan, henceforth he is going to vote regardless of the team decisions and agreements. "I am ready to support the program of any political force that will serve the development and progress of Armenia," he concluded.
Thus, the ranks of the RPA are thinning before our eyes - in one day the second MP of the National Assembly left the Republican faction. Earlier, Shirak Torosyan announced his decision to withdraw from the majority faction, because "he and the RPA had too different views."
