S. Sargsyan twice thanks Ed. Marukyan (video)
NA Speaker Ara Babloyan, in his speech addressing the actions organized by Nikol Pashinyan, stated at the National Assembly today: "Unfortunately, people have chosen the path of clashes instead of expressing their dissatisfaction in civilized way and, unfortunately, we have sufferers." Serzh Sargsyan stated in his final speech that he did not agree with many stated ideas. "Sometimes my partner's speeches contain formulas that could be more modest. And there were allegations from the opposition deputies that I do not agree with, and [I] do not address them separately, as their best judge is the time," said Sargsyan and added, "It was strange for me, what do you say for the 3rd and not the 4th term, as I was prime minister before being president?" Addressing the Yelk (Way out) faction Aram Sargsyan, he urged not to exploit Vazgen Sargsyan's words. And to Edmon Marukyan, he said: "You have proved very convincing that the constitutional amendments were needed. And, thank God, there is no picture here because there is no longer picture power, but there is political power. Also, I am grateful for the goodwill and in order to live in bright Armenia, in the prosperous Armenia, it is necessary that the volatile volcanoes do not start suddenly, and for this, there should not be people who meddle." Serzh Sargsyan's candidacy for the post of Prime Minister was put to the vote, but secretary of the Yelk faction Gevorg Gorgisyan demanded a 20-minute break.
