Leader of Bright Armenia opposition party: If I demand PM’s resignation, he has to resign

The Bright Armenia Party has its agenda, and when it decides to demand the Prime Minister’s resignation, it will launch a process of impeachment in parliament. This is what leader of the Bright Armenia faction of the National Assembly Edmon Marukyan told reporters today.

“We’re a parliamentary force. We can’t say things just for the sake of saying them. If I demand the resignation, the Prime Minister must resign. Therefore, if I’m not demanding it, it means there are no preconditions for that.

Let’s assume someone demands Nikol Pashinyan’s resignation, and he resigns, and the My Step Alliance elects Romanos Petrosyan Prime Minister, what will change? The authorities are not the Prime Minister, but the 88 members of the ruling faction, and they decide who will become Prime Minister,” Marukyan said.
