Serzh Sargsyan: 54 votes  are needed for a full impeachment process  of  Pashinyan  in Armenia, not 36

ArmInfo. 54 votes from  National Assembly deputies, not 36, are required to initiate a full  impeachment process of the Prime Minister of Armenia. The third  President of the Republic of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, told  journalists on June 12.

"We don't need 36 votes, we need 54 votes, and then the issue will be  brought to parliament," Serzh Sargsyan noted. He refrained from  elaborating further, mentioning  that the leader of the opposition  faction "I Have Honor" Hayk Mamjanyan had already covered all aspects  of the matter.

Nevertheless, the third President of the Republic of Armenia believes  that the impeachment process is not doomed. "The process begins when  a member of the National Assembly nominates a prime minister  candidate," Sargsyan said. When asked about the need for 36  signatures, which are currently lacking, and how the process can  begin in such a scenario, the former president responded: "We said  that we would raise the issue for discussion once we have 54  signatures, 36 are irrelevant."
