Resigned ruling My Step lawmaker Arsen Julfalakyan has invited Armenian Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport Arayik Harutyunyan to a live debate.

Julfalakyan announced his decision to resign from the parliament last week, citing serious disagreements with Harutyunyan and accusing the minister of mismanaging his areas of responsibility.

At a news conference on Wednesday, Harutyunyan claimed the former MP had never sought a meeting with him to voice his concerns.

Julfalakyan said in a Facebook post on Thursday that the debate is aimed at settling the matter “once and for all” to prevent it from turning into a political show.

Also, he claimed that he has expressed his concerns over the education authorities’ policies in various appeals, speeches and videos.

"I would prefer to hold the debate after some time, so that it is not linked with the processes initiated by the other political forces concerning the minister," Julfalakyan wrote.
