ArmInfo. Armenia's ruling party Civil Contract is not taking the initiative of the opposition forces to launch the impeachment procedure against Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan seriously, as well as the nomination of Edmon Marukyan, leader of the Bright Armenia party as a candidate for the post of Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia within this initiative. This was stated by Speaker of the National Assembly Alen Simonyan on May 19 at a briefing in parliament.
"Since 2018, we have been witnessing such processes. We only take the voice of the Republic of Armenia seriously," he said. The NA speaker pointed out that the ruling faction does not have any stance on such processes. "We only occasionally exchange jokes about the political alliance of Aghazaryan and Aslanyan "giving birth" to Edmond as a political figure. That is the extent of our discussions," he said with a smile.
