Artsakh parliament cannot be dissolved until May 21, 2025 - Artur  Tovmasyan

ArmInfo.The Artsakh parliament cannot be dissolved until May 21, 2025, former Speaker of the Artsakh National Assembly Artur Tovmasyan said. 

"The National Assembly of the Republic of Artsakh is the only, I  emphasize, the only legitimate structure that has received the votes  of the people of Artsakh, which must continue its work in the legal,  political, humanitarian and information areas.

The President of Artsakh can dissolve the government before January  1, but cannot dissolve the National Assembly, according to the  Constitution of the Republic of Artsakh, we do not have the right to  self- dissolution, the National Assembly of the Republic of Artsakh  cannot be dissolved until May 21, 2025," Tovmasyan noted in an  interview with Artsakhpress. At the same time, he stated with regret  that Artsakh was lost in November 2020. "The National Assembly is not  dissolved and cannot be dissolved on its own, regarding the right of  return, lost property and preservation of cultural heritage, who  should raise this issue if not the National Assembly of Artsakh.  Return to Artsakh is possible if there are international guarantees -  we will study them, and then say whether we will return or not, but  without international guarantees, the right of any citizen to life is  under threat," added the former Chairman of the National Assembly of  the Republic of Artsakh. He also said that over 10 Thousands of  Artsakh residents have already left Armenia due to deteriorating  living conditions, including increased housing rents.
