Demand for president’s resignation stems from critical situation in Armenia – MP
13:16 – 03.11.13
Armenian National Congress (ANC) parliamentary group member Lyudmila
Sargsyan is sure that the first Armenian president Levon
Ter-Petrosyan’s demand for incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan’s
resignation on condition that the Armenian Parliament grants the
president the right to complete personal immunity results from
critical situation in the country.
`An individual case is in question. Ter-Petrosyan made the right
statement. The situation in the country is so critical that even such
a step can be made for the incumbent president to be ready to resign
without being threatened with any consequences,’ Ms Sargsyan told
Tert.am.
She believes Armenia needs a new, transparent presidential election,
which would set a precedent in Armenia.
`Afterwards, we can have an entirely different situation in our
country,’ Ms Sargsyan said.
If a law is adopted, no president will avoid responsibility.
