MP Vahe Hakobyan of the opposition Hayastan bloc has denied reports that he plans to step down.
He also ruled out the possibility of quitting the Hayastan faction without giving up his parliament seat.
“The faction will make a final decision on the parliament seats in September,” the MP told Pastinfo.
Asked whether he plans to quit politics in the near future, Hakobyan said: “I won’t quit politics so long as [PM] Nikol Pashinyan stays in power. I will stay in office until he leaves.”
Earlier on Monday, Hayastan MP Artur Ghazinyan announced his decision to resign from the parliament.
