Babajanyan appealed to the Prime Minister with the demand to dismiss Vazgen Manukyan

Taking into account some important events and developments that have taken place in recent days and, of course, the domestic political context, I have appealed to the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, with the request to dismiss the Chairman of the Public Council, Vazgen Manukyan.

A member of the National Assembly wrote about this on his Facebook page Arman Babajanyan:

In the letter published by him, it is detailed why Manukyan should be relieved of his post. According to Babajanyan, Manukyan makes political statements, he recently founded a socio-political club called Vernatun, whose members are politicians who held various key positions during the tenure of former RA presidents Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan. According to Babajanyan, this contradicts the Law on Public Service, which states that the members of the Public Council and the president do not have the right to engage in political activities.

It should be noted that earlier the newspaper wrote that Vazgen Manukyan is going to resign in the near future. It is noteworthy that Manukyan’s resignation was written by “Zhamanak” newspaper, which, as is known, belongs to Arman Babajanyan.

“It is possible that the Chairman of the Public Council, Vazgen Manukyan, will submit his resignation. Making such a decision may be due to the fact that Manukyan has been acting from the opposition positions for a long time, criticizing the policy pursued by the authorities. It is true that the Public Council and its chairman do not have to agree with the government in everything, but presenting the public’s point of view and opposition activity are different things,” the newspaper specifically wrote.
