BHK MP TO RESIGN FROM MANDATE

Politics

According to some verified sources, Vahe Hovhannissian, member of the Armenian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) and “Bargavach Hayastan” (Prosperous Armenia) Party MP, submitted a resignation to the Speaker of the National Assembly Tigran Torossian.

We tried to verify the information from the BHK parliamentarian. The latter confirmed his intention on the telephone.

“I simply want to change my job and to start business in a private sector. As you know a parliamentarian has no right to be engaged in business. I made the decision long ago and wouldn’t like my resignation to get different interpretations. I informed the BHK leader of my intention a month ago. I have had no problems with Gagik Tsarukian. We have worked together for a year, and our relations were mainly based on mutual respect,” said Vahe Hovhannissian.

The deputy’s resignation will be considered at the NA sitting on Monday.
