Parliament speaker: My Step MP Vahagn Grigoryan resigns
The ruling My Step faction’s lawmaker Vahagn Grigoryan has tendered his resignation, newly elected Speaker Ararat Mirzoyan said during the parliament session on Tuesday.
Mirzoyan stressed that the MP is entitled to retract his resignation within one week. If he fails to do so, the speaker will accept the resignation to terminate his parliamentary mandate.
Separately, the parliament speaker reminded that the Armenian pogroms were being carried out in Baku in these days in 1990.
“I believe that we unanimously condemn this violence. We, as a people who have faced such a tragedy several times during their history, cannot tolerate violence towards any ethnic minority,” he stressed.
