FFA head Hayrapetyan determined to quit MP seat after Harsnakar tragedy
September 21, 2012 – 14:36 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net – The ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) MP, the
head of the Football Federation of Armenia (FFA) Ruben Hayrapetyan
didn’t recall his statement to resign parliamentary seat.
Hayrapetyan submitted a statement on September 5. According to
National Assembly regulations, unless the statement on resigning a
parliamentary seat is recalled within 15 days, a statement is drawn up
to be signed by parliament speaker, which is further sent to Central
Electoral Committee.
In an earlier interview to Nouvelles d’Arménie, Hayrapetyan expressed
intention to recall his statement to continue his work as an MP.
Hayrapetyan gave up his deputy mandate in July. The step followed the
tragic incident at Hayrapetyan-owned Harsnakar restaurant, where his
bodyguards beat 3 military doctors, with one of them having died while
in coma.
The tragedy was followed by mass protests demanding a fair probe into
the case and punishment for those responsible.
