I Pleaded with Pashinyan to Withdraw His Request: Ghazaryan

“During my meeting with Pashinyan, I told him, ‘Mr. Prime Minister, I am asking you, pleading with you to withdraw your request, as it is unjust.’ He responded that he could not, and I told him that I also could not fulfill the request,” said independent MP Hovik Ghazaryan during a conversation with journalists.

It is reminded that weeks ago, Nikol Pashinyan sent an ‘sms’ message to Civil Contract party MPs Hovik Ghazaryan and Narek Zeinalyan, requesting them to resign from their mandates. Zeinalyan immediately complied, while Ghazaryan announced that he would not fulfill the Prime Minister's request. Subsequently, the Civil Contract party expelled him, and during the parliamentary session held on December 4, Ghazaryan announced his departure from the faction.
