ArmInfo. During a closed session on November 24, the Council of the National Assembly of Armenia made a decision to satisfy the petition of the Commission for the Prevention of Corruption and to appeal to the Constitutional Court with a request to consider the issue of depriving the leader of the Prosperous Armenia party Gagik Tsarukyan from the parliamentary mandate.
"It was a political decision. All 10 representatives of the ruling My Step bloc voted to appeal to the Constitutional Court to consider the issue of depriving Tsarukyan of his mandate," Arman Abovyan, secretary of the Prosperous Armenia faction, told reporters. He noted that the rationales presented by the Commission for the Prevention of Corruption are so unconvincing that they can only speak of the biased position of the authorities.
In turn, MP from the "Prosperous Armenia" faction Naira Zohrabyan stressed that this is the last degree of absurdity. There is no justification, and the process of settling accounts on the part of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is underway. After the surrender of Artsakh, Naira Zohrabyan continued, Nikol Pashinyan, instead of dealing with the issues of the prisoners of war, instead of sending police officers who persecute protesters on the streets of Yerevan to Artsakh, in order to assist citizens in removing property, is settling accounts.
