Saghatelyan Fails to be Elected Again: Saghatelyan Says Power is Creating a Theater
The National Assembly of Armenia did not elect Ishkhan Saghatelyan to the position of Deputy Speaker for the second time. Following a closed secret ballot, the head of the Counting Commission, Narek Babayan, announced that 103 deputies participated in the vote, with 5 ballots declared invalid, 49 voting in favor, and 49 against.
While the previous vote saw 53 'in favor' votes, this time only 49 were counted as such, with 5 being deemed invalid. Saghatelyan remarked that the authorities simply wish to create a theater out of this entire situation.
