Some lawmakers of the ruling Civil Contract party instructed their aides to retract signatures. What happened?
The newspaper "Zhoghavorud" reports: “There is an unhealthy atmosphere within the ruling Civil Contract party faction. The publication has learned from its sources that the aides of 36 lawmakers, who with the knowledge of their leaders approached the President of the National Assembly, Alen Simonyan, and Chief of Staff Vahan Naribekyan to demand bonuses, are in an awkward situation. It turns out that many of the lawmakers were unaware of the intrigues behind the signature collection and instructed their aides to go and retract their signatures. They did not want to oppose Simonyan and Naribekyan, but since such a procedure is technically impossible, the process continued only with regretting texts.
The fact is that the signature collection by the Civil Contract lawmakers ended with Vahan Naribekyan's resignation request, and the lawmakers’ aides did not receive any bonuses. Although all parties periodically urge each other to close the topic in various groups and conversations, every press publication opens up a new field for clashes, and accusations of “backstabbing” the team and “striking the Prime Minister” are being voiced—still without names.”
