Armenia opposition MP on FM’s resignation

Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Ara Aivazian, who resigned earlier, hadn’t expressed discontent with acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s plan for de-escalation of the border situation during the session of the Security Council. Edmon Marukyan, chairman of the opposition Bright Armenia Party and head of its National Assembly (NA) faction, stated this Monday during the traditional briefings at the NA.

Marukyan doesn’t think Aivazian resigned in order to not be bear responsibility for the document that Pashinyan intends to sign, but if this is the case, the diplomat needs to fight against the signing of the document, if it is unfavorable for Armenia, not escape in order to not bear responsibility.
