Public figures sent letter to Armenian parliament members calling for  a motion of no confidence in Pashinyan

ArmInfo.  On April 28, public figures Edgar Ghazaryan and Narek Malyan sent a letter to members of the Armenian parliament calling for them to initiate the process of no confidence motion in Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

As Edgar Ghazaryan, former Armenian Ambassador to Poland and former  head of the Constitutional Court staff, told journalists, according  to the country's Constitution, each deputy has the responsibility to  oversee the actions of the Armenian authorities and personally bears  responsibility for this.  When asked by journalists how effective the  initiative to express a motion of no confidence in Pashinyan would  be, the diplomat agreed that the opposition forces are not able to  advance any proposals or bills without the support of the ruling  Civil Contract party. However, he expressed his conviction that such  initiatives should be pursued regardless of the circumstances and the  ruling party's attempts to thwart them.

The diplomat admitted that if political forces are confident that if  opposition deputies resign from their mandates, other candidates on  the proportional list will not take their places, then it could  result in less than 101 deputies  in the legislative body, rendering  the functioning of parliament illegitimate. "If this  does not bring  results, we may be compelled to take appropriate political steps and  actions," Ghazaryan concluded, without specifying what those  additional steps might entail.
