"I don't know where Haykakan Zhamanak got such information from?" I did not postpone the announcement of the decision to resign, but the decision to respond to the Prime Minister's request.
They are different things," is how he respondsof Euromedia24.comin a conversation with CP MP Hovik Aghazaryan on the wording of the HJ belonging to the Prime Minister's family, where it is mentioned that Aghazaryan has postponed the decision to put down the mandate.
We asked if he doesn't think that they are sending him a message and forcing him to give up his mandate, Aghazaryan said: "I don't find it convenient to comment. You can comment however you want."
As for the reasons for dropping the mandate, Aghazaryan said that Pashinyan has already announced it. "He announced that he made such a request regarding the dispute between me and Mr. Kyaramyan in the National Assembly," said the CP deputy.
Considering the lack of reliable candidates for Pashinyan and the crisis of the personnel reserve in general, is it possible that he will be appointed to another position in the context of the so-called "rakirovka", maybe the decision to put down the mandate these days is precisely because of those separate negotiations, Aghazaryan said:
"I will be able to answer those questions when I answer the Prime Minister's request. I apologize for delaying a bit, but I have valid reasons for that," Aghazaryan concluded.
To remind, RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced during an interview with Public TV that he asked CP deputies Narek Zeynalyan and Hovik Aghazaryan to resign their parliamentary mandates, expressing hope that Hovik Aghazaryan would fulfill his request.
On November 22, Narek Zeynalyan submitted the application to the National Assembly to drop the mandate. Hovik Aghazaryan announced that he will make a statement on November 25 at 18:00.
However, as soon as the deadline expired, he announced that he had postponed the deadlines for making his decision.
