"Fact" daily writes: "As it is known, Nikol Pashinyan "urged" his fellow member of parliament Hovik Aghazaryan to give up his mandate. Hovik Aghazaryan is also not excluded, realizing the illegality of that "urge", he hesitates, citing a friend who "so and so" was supposed to come from Moscow... Then there are meetings of the CP Department, the faction, and where else. according to various reports, they called on Hovik Aghazaryan to give up his mandate, although they say that there are also hoodlums who are strongly against it and are urging a party member to do otherwise.
During this time, however, an event took place that possibly changed the fate of Deputy Aghazaryan. In particular, Gegham Nazaryan, deputy of the "Armenia" faction, expressed an opinion contrary to the position of the faction. While many claimed that Robert Kocharyan should also "urge" Gegham Nazaryan to give up the mandate following Pashinyan's example, Nazaryan was only removed from the faction.
Moreover, Gegham Nazaryan himself stated that Kocharyan, on the contrary, urged not to put down the mandate.
Due to this event, according to our information, Pashinyan, as they say, "fell into a trap" and did not particularly insist on his admonition to Aghazaryan, apparently in order to appear kind and perhaps democratic after Robert Kocharyan's move. Aghazaryan, in turn, announced that he consulted with his "mysterious friend" and decided to "reject the Prime Minister's request".
