Dwelling on the issue whether Raffi Hovhannisyan will withdraw his
application to refuse the mandate by September 30, the parliamentary
member from the Heritage faction Stepan Safaryan said, "In reality
no one may say" what Raffi Hovhannisyan will do. According to Stepan
Safaryan, it was Raffi Hovhannisyan’s personal decision to lay down
the mandate, consequently, it is his personal right to comment on
and to ground his decisions.

Several days ago, there appeared information in the press that Stepan
Safaryan did not rule out that Raffi Hovhannisyan may retake his
mandate. Safaryan stated that he had never said such a thing. Stepan
Safaryan says the press invented that story on retaking the mandate.
