Clarification Regarding Controversial Correspondence

MP Hakob Aslanyan has been a school teacher to Minister of High-Tech Industry Mikitar Hayrapetyan and joined the Civil Contract party in 2016 through the minister. Aslanyan consulted with the minister today and asked for assistance regarding the text of his statement,” wrote the spokesperson for the High-Tech Industry Minister, Karine Terteryan.

Recall that MP Hakob Aslanyan announced today that he is suspending his participation in the Civil Contract faction for one month, shortly after which he posted several messages on Facebook expressing his 'regret'. Initially, Aslanyan published a text on his page about changing his intention to leave the Civil Contract faction, but it appears he did not notice that he was sharing a screenshot of his conversation with Minister Mikitar Hayrapetyan.
