Director of #3 Polyclinic of Vanadzor Artak Yedoyan has been dismissed for demanding the resignation of Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan. He confirmed the news during a conversation with Yerkir.am.

“I had joined the call of doctor, freedom fighter Taron Tonoyan to demand the resignation of Pashinyan. I’m not politically affiliated. I assume that I was dismissed because of this since there was no other reason to dismiss me,” he said.

Yedoyan says there is a reason for him to believe this because during his conversation with newly appointed regional governor Aram Khachatryan, who used to be a deputy of the My Step faction of the National Assembly before being appointed, started talking about politics and asked Yedoyan why he was against Pashinyan.

“The regional governor asked me if I could express my opinion during the administration of the former authorities, to which I gave an affirmative answer and brought up an example and added that I had never faced such a problem in the past,” the doctor said, adding that he will sue the regional governor and has already reached an agreement with lawyers and human rights activists.

Representatives of the medical community of Armenia had issued a statement demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Pashinyan, who is responsible for the devastating situation created in Armenia, as well as the resignation of his Cabinet.
