Today, the official representative of the “Armenia” Alliance Aram Vardevanyan submitted to the CEC the application on my decision to resign from the mandate of a deputy. The second President of the Republic of Armenia Robert Kocharyan issued a statement about this.

“It turned out that I had been a deputy of both the parliaments of Artsakh and Armenia, but I have always been a man of executive power due to my character. I am convinced that now it is better to give way to my teammates, each of whom, I am sure, will become a good deputy.

With this step I also express my consent to thousands of my teammates, who conveyed to me the opinion that after the positions of the President of Artsakh Republic and the President of the Republic of Armenia, I should not be tempted by the mandate of a deputy. Finally, I was voted as the candidate for the Prime Minister of the Alliance.

At the same time, I consider it necessary to emphasize that my not going to the National Assembly does not mean leaving the struggle. The faction is the presence of the Alliance in the National Assembly, and I continue to be the leader of the Alliance and will contribute to our expected victories through daily consistent work.

I am sure everything will be fine.

Robert Kocharyan,” the statement reads.
