"Armenia" and "I have honor" opposition blocs no longer exist: Former  MP

ArmInfo. <In order to return domestic political life to its organic environment, first of all, it must be stated that after the withdrawal of the "Reborn Armenia" and  "Fatherland" parties from the parliament, the "Hayastan" (<Armenia>)  and "I have the honor" blocs no longer exist>, Artur Ghazinyan, a  former member of parliament from the Hayastan opposition faction,  wrote on his Facebook page.

According to the former parliamentarian, the Armenian Revolutionary  Federation- Dashnaktsutyun (ARF) and the Republican Party of Armenia  (RPA) remain as opposition in the National Assembly, which should  take on the political responsibility of the opposition, and the  parliamentary factions should be renamed and named after these two  parties.

<Those MPs from the opposition who are not members of these parties  or do not want to take responsibility for their political activities  can leave the faction and remain independent MPs or resign their  parliamentary mandates.

This is necessary for the institutionalization of the opposition, so  that opposition activities have a political face and a specific  addressee of responsibility.  Whether it will happen, to be honest, I  don't know, but if there is a need for it, definitely...

P.S. This statement reflects the existing political reality and aims  to increase the efficiency and organization of the work of the  opposition, in no way harms the rating and authority of the  opposition forces of the parliament.

P.P.S. I made my choice back in July and refused to accept the  parliamentary mandate, as I am not a member of the Dashnaktsutyun and  did not want to share political responsibility for the activities of  the Hayastan faction, he said.

Artur Ghazinyan in the early parliamentary elections of 2021 entered  the parliament on the list of the Hayastan (Armenia) bloc, headed by  the second president Robert Kocharyan. On July 6, 2022, he submitted  his resignation.

At the end of November, the "Reborn Armenia" party, which is part of  the "Hayastan" bloc, led by the second president of the republic  Robert Kocharyan, announced the termination of its activities in the  National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia. It was noted that those  party members who are represented in the alliance's electoral list  can take a mandate. However, in this case, they will have to leave  the ranks of the party. As a result, today the second member of the  "Hayastan" party in two days refused to take a deputy mandate.
