Ararat Mirzoyan Outraged by Pashinyan's Decision: 'Hraparak'

The newspaper 'Hraparak' reports that Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan is upset with his allies due to Prime Minister Pashinyan's demand for his close friend, Narek Zeynalyan, to resign from his parliamentary mandate.

Recall that during his speech, Zeynalyan harshly criticized the former head of the Investigative Committee, Arghisti Kyaramyan, stating, “You speak with members of the National Assembly, you are not in your office, and you do not talk to your subordinates. I cannot comprehend which is worse – to understand where you are and speak to deputies in such a manner, or the opposite.”

According to the newspaper's sources, Mirzoyan told his allies that they have treated Zeynalyan unfairly. Mirzoyan claims that Zeynalyan is a restrained individual and should not have been stripped of his mandate, especially since there are other MPs who have found themselves at the center of disgraceful incidents, yet Pashinyan is lenient towards them and does not punish them.

The fact is that Narek Zeynalyan is a friend of Ararat Mirzoyan, and now, Pashinyan's decision to strip Zeynalyan of his mandate has deeply disturbed him, which he has also expressed in front of party members.
