Former Ombudsman of Artsakh, Armenia’s former Deputy Minister of Justice, human rights activist Ruben Melikyan will not run in the upcoming snap parliamentary elections on the list of any party or bloc.

“I am personally a supporter of Nemesis. If there was an alliance called "Nemesis", I would gladly join it. But since Nemesis is, in principle, incompatible with the proportional electoral system, you will not find my name on the lists of candidates during the upcoming elections,” he wrote on Facebook on Thursday.

At the same time, the activist said he will continue to "fight for Armenia and against the capitulator-usurper."
