Taguhi Tovmasyan: I’m ready to quit as MP at any moment

Panorama, Armenia
Nov 12 2021

Taguhi Tovmasyan, an Armenian lawmaker representing the opposition With Honor faction, says she stands ready to step down as an MP at any moment.

"I am ready to resign my parliamentary mandate immediately. I have expressed a clear stance on this issue from the very first days of my parliamentary activity. Either the mandate should serve the state interests of the country or it makes no sense to hold it,” she wrote on Facebook on Friday.

“Today, when I have not succeeded in making the borders of my country more secure with the mandate entrusted to me, when I have not been able to neutralize the threats facing my homeland with this mandate, and the country keeps shrinking, I am ready to give it up at any moment.

“But even then, my efforts in this regard will not abate: I will be as consistent as I have been for the past three years,” Tovmasyan said.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
