ArmInfo.  Arsen Julfalakyan is  a good MP and could continue to serve the interests of Armenia. The  lawmaker from <My Step> Tigran Ulikhanyan expressed this opinion in  an interview with journalists on September 11.

To recall, on September 9 Julfalakyan, also representing "My Step",  announced his decision to give up his lawmaker mandate. He  substantiated this by fundamental disagreements with the RA Minister  of Education, Science, Culture and Sports Arayik Harutyunyan  regarding approaches to the management of the fields under his  jurisdiction. Julfalakyan also noted that the path chosen by the  minister is unpromising and will not solve the existing problems.

Ulikhanyan noted that for many representatives of "My Step",  Julfalakyan's decision came as a surprise.  Meanwhile, referring to  his criticism of the minister, the lawmaker noted that he did not  consider it correct, especially with such formulations. According to  him, if the minister continues to hold his post, it means that he  continues to enjoy the trust of the Prime Minister and the political  team.

Ulikhanyan also noted that Julfalakyan could discuss the issues  causing his discontent with the faction.  "There are no topics or  questions that could not be the topic of our discussion," he added.  At the same time, he expressed regret at the decision of his fellow  in the faction, noting that Julfalakyan is a good lawmaker and could  continue to serve the interests of Armenia. In his words,  Julfalakyan's issue was discussed during today's meeting of "My  Step", and the public will be informed about the decision of the  faction later.

To note, earlier in Yerevan a number of protests were held demanding  the resignation of Harutyunyan.  Meanwhile, the minister himself  notes that the issue of his removal from office is not being  discussed.
