Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan Won’t Resign, Say Heritage Party and Rule of Law MPs

Heritage Party parliamentary faction members don’t believe that Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan (pictured) will resign and pre-term elections will be called, said Heritage Party MP Armen Martirosyan, at a press briefing in the National Assembly, responding to a reporter’s question as to whether the party considers such a scenario likely.

“We tend to speak of more serious subjects,” said Martirosyan, adding that Sargsyan is in complete control of the situation, very easily dismissing high-level officials and not preparing to resign.

Also responding to the question about the president’s possible resignation was Rule of Law (“Orinats Yerkir”) MP Khachik Harutyunyan, who likewise said such a development wasn’t likely, noting that Sargsyan won’t resign because there is no such situation that requires it in the country.
