Bagrat Galstanyan must be nominated to Armenian premier`s post -  ex-FM

ArmInfo. Yesterday's rally of the "Tavush for the Motherland" movement on Republic Square was  impressive, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Vartan Oskanyan, adding that he personally took part in yesterday's protest action.

"According to estimates, more than 75 thousand of our citizens  participated in the rally. This is truly the expression of the will  of the people. All these people came to the square with one demand -  the demand for the resignation of Nikol Pashinyan. This is a people's  movement that has two specific features. Firstly, it is controlled by  one person, who you can trust - Bagrat Srbazan. Secondly, this  movement has a clear message - Nikol Pashinyan, you cannot rule the  country, you cannot and will no longer be able to. You have put our  country in a very difficult situation and failed both externally and  internally. political agenda.  You failed everything possible. You  lost an important part of our homeland - Artsakh. You devastated  Artsakh and now you don't even want to talk about it. Today  Azerbaijan invaded our sovereign territories and is not going to  leave them. You have sacrificed so many people, lost our allies, got  entangled in geopolitical processes, and you will not be able to get  out of this situation," Oskanyan stated.

According to him, a new person must come who can lead Armenia out of  the current difficult situation.  Oskanian believes that everything  can be resolved constitutionally. At the same time, the former head  of the Armenian Foreign Ministry believes that the candidate for the  post of prime minister from the movement demanding the resignation of  Nikol Pashinyan should be Bagrat Galstanyan. 

"I believe that Reverend Bagrat is on the right track when he  announced yesterday that he is already holding consultations with  parliamentary political forces in order to enter the National  Assembly and begin the procedure for a vote of no confidence in Nikol  Pashinyan.

The Constitution, of course, requires that these forces also present  their candidate for Prime Minister. At the moment, I think that the  candidate for the post of prime minister should be Reverend Bagrat. I  don't know the details, but I think that this will happen, because  this government will be temporary, maybe for a year. During this  time, some problems will be solved, the Armenian people will  straighten their backs, after which it will be possible to hold fair  elections," Oskanian said in a video posted on his Facebook page.

Bagrat Galstanyan has already responded to the proposal of the former  head of the Armenian Foreign Ministry regarding his candidacy for the  post of Prime Minister. "I thank Mr. Oskanian, but I have no  ambitions to become the prime minister of Armenia," he told  reporters.
