The Parliament is debating the issue of the election of Aram Vardevanyan, deputy of the “Strong Armenia” party, to the position of NA vice-president.

In his speech, he emphasized that it was not his dream to be a member of the National Assembly, and even more so, the deputy speaker of the National Assembly, because being a member of the opposition faction in Armenia is not an easy thing, but he and his faction have concerns: Armenia is not moving in the right direction.

“We see that there are red lines in RA that have been undermined. When we see that, to put it mildly, insulting remarks are made against the Armenian Patriarch and our Mother See is turned into a subject of political discussion, it is initiated by one force and that one force is CP.

Referring to the 7-month detention applied to Samvel Karapetyan and the 8-9-month detention applied to the reverends, he emphasized that they were illegal.
