Speaker of Armenian Parliament resigns

Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly Hovik Abrahamyan handed in his resignation minutes ago, News.am reported. Abrahamyan addressed the MPs with the following speech:

"Fully acknowledging the responsibility before the people, the [ruling coalition's Republican] Party [of Armenia], and the President, I present my letter of resignation. Being elected NA Speaker, I announced the Parliament must work transparently, and let it not sound immodest [on my part], but it seems to me we have achieved that.

This was a serious phase for me. I am confident NA would continue to be the defender of the interests of the state and people".
