Opposition parliamentary faction against changing Pashinyan for  `Pashinyan 2`

Opposition parliamentary faction against changing Pashinyan for  `Pashinyan 2`

ArmInfo.  The deputies of the opposition faction "I have the honor" of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia decided not to join the process of nominating the  candidacy of the leader of the Bright Armenia party, former  Ambassador-at-Large Edmon Marukyan for the post of Prime Minister of  the Republic of Armenia. 

This is stated in the statement of the head of the faction Hayk  Mamijanyan, published on his Facebook page. The statement confirms  that on May 6, the faction expressed its readiness to discuss the  issue of the candidacy of the Prime Minister without preconditions  and initiate the process of expressing no confidence in the Prime  Minister. However, the faction decided not to participate in the  process initiated by NA deputies Hovik Agazaryan and Hakob Aslanyan  for the simple reason that the nominated candidate is no different  from the current rulers in his political background. He is equally  responsible for the difficult situation in the country. "In other  words, the "I have the honor" faction is against the process of  replacing Nikol Pashinyan with "Nikol Pashinyan 2", so we do not see  the need for a meeting with the candidate.  However, the MPs who  nominated their candidates can contact the faction for additional  information regarding our decision," Mamijanyan said in a statement.

The nomination of Marukyan for the post of Prime Minister within the  framework of the impeachment initiative of the Prime Minister of the  Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan was recently announced by members  of the National Assembly of Armenia Hovik Agazaryan (member of the  board of the United National Constitutional Party) and Hakob  Aslanyan.

On April 28, members of the We Do Not Sleep movement, founded by the  founder of the Veto movement Narek Malyan, former Ambassador of  Armenia to Poland Edgar Ghazaryan and a group of oppositionists, sent  individual letters to members of the Armenian Parliament about  initiating the process of declaring a vote of no confidence in the  Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan within 10  days.  Both opposition factions - Armenia (28 MPs) and I Have the  Honor (6 MPs) - expressed their support for the initiative.  Meanwhile, a vote of no confidence in the current Prime Minister can  be discussed in parliament only if at least 36 MPs provide the  signatures required to begin the process. A minimum of 54 votes (a  simple majority of deputies) are needed for the process to succeed.  With the refusal of the "I have the honor" faction to take part in  the discussions on Marukyan's candidacy, the process can be  considered a failure.
