YEREVAN. – The First Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia (RA), Karen Karapetyan, on Monday made a statement in connection with the matter of removal of the parliamentary immunities of three opposition MPs of the National Assembly (NA).
“Today, we have made a decision, and I’ve appealed to the RA Prosecutor General to take back the petition regarding the [said] National Assembly deputies,” he noted speaking to reporters. “And I’m going right now to Mr. [Nikol] Pashinyan for a talk, so that we can negotiate and find a solution.
“Tomorrow’s day [Tuesday] is extremely important, and I believe that we will have so much logic and sobriety to show the whole world [that] we can sit down and find a logical solution, regardless of how much a complicated problem there is [in Armenia].”
A consultation took place just recently at the presidential residence. It brought together Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan, President Armen Sarkissian, First Deputy PM Karen Karapetyan, and NA Chairman Ara Babloyan.
Monday is the eleventh day of the mass demonstrations against ex-President Serzh Sargsyan being elected Prime Minister by the parliament.
