Opposition MP Armen Gevorgyan has stepped down as chairman of the Armenian parliament committee on regional and Eurasian integration, which he took over in 2021.

"I have constantly tried to create an effective working atmosphere in the Commission, especially taking into account the prospects for the development of Eurasian integration of the country. However, political processes in the country have led to a point where I am resigning as the committee chairman,” the MP, who represents the Hayastan bloc, said in a statement announcing his resignation on Friday.

“The current situation dictates clear rules of political, social, and human ethics which I cannot disregard and which prevent me from continuing in my role as chair of the committee,” Gevorgyan said.

At the same time, he unveiled plans to continue fulfilling his duties as an MP in all international structures.
