Yesterday, the press wrote that the NA Ethics Committee held a session, and discussed the issue of Mesrop Manukyan, deputy of the “Armenia” faction.

It refers to the incident between the opposition deputy and Ajapnyak district head Serob Sargsyan, when an argument took place between them during the demolition of shops on Shinararneri street. The district head called the MP a “puppy”, and the MP responded. “You’re the puppy, boy, I’ll spit on you.”

Today of 168.am in a conversation with Mesrop Manukyan said that the Ethics Commission did not hold a meeting, but they had to decide whether to hold a meeting at all or not, that is, whether to initiate any proceedings in that case or not.

“I asked the MPs of our faction, in particular, Lilit Galstyan, to initiate the case in a mandatory way, I demanded it, because I have something to say too. Also, I really want, if, of course, CP deputies are not constrained, to open the session, not to close it,” said Mesrop Manukyan.

To the question: What expectations does he have from the Ethics Committee, since there is constant tension between himself and the CP deputies in the parliament, they constantly remind him of General Manvel Grigoryan, etc., Mesrop Manukyan answered:

“First, before remembering Manvel Grigoryan, my good advice to them is to remember that the two assistants of Manvel Grigoryan before me are with them today, the advisors before me are with them.

Their problem is with my kind, the person who says everything to their face, their fight is neither with Manvel Grigoryan nor his assistant.

I don’t have expectations from them, but I have something to talk to the public here. I have something to say and demonstrate to the public by my example.”

Mesrop Manukyan answered the question: Who should examine and condemn the speech of the Ajapnyak district head and various representatives of the government in general?

“When there is a change of power in the country, so many big mouths will become “cuckoo chicks”, and in that case the problem will be solved. Our society does not deserve to hear such vocabulary or see their behavior, all this comes from the government. When the government says something, the opposition says something more or less. Therefore, the solution to this issue will be after the change of power.”
