ArmInfo. Speaker of the Armenian parliament Tigran Torosyan disproved
the rumours that he had made an arrangement with ex-deputy of the
parliament Genrik Abrahamyan who has recently refused his deputy
mandate.
As he told journalists he makes no such arrangements. As for Genrik
Abrahamyan, he was appointed the director of the Artashat wine
factory. For this reason he tendered his resignation from the post
of the National Assembly deputy as business activity is incompatible
with the authorities of a deputy, Tigran Torosyan explained. When
commenting on the spread rumours that Torosyan is going to tender
his resignation from the post of the National Assembly speaker,
so that Genrik Abrahamyan’s brother Hovik Abrahamyan be elected to
the post of speaker, Torosyan replied: ‘I am not going to tender my
resignation as there is no ground for that. Moreover, I don’t have a
right to make such a step as it will bring down rating of the country’,
– Tigran Torosyan said.
