YEREVAN. – Although the matter of dismissing Armenian PM Tigran Sargsyan is raised frequently, he remains in office to this day.   

Opposition Heritage Party Vice-Chairman, capital city Yerevan Council of Elders member Armen Martirosyan noted the abovementioned during a press conference on Wednesday.

“Sargsyan is a bearer of western values. In fact, Armenia is on the verge of signing a document on association with EU. And if the PM is removed from office, the authorities will not find his replacement with a pro-western stance,” Martirosyan said. He stressed that the incumbent PM is a convenient official for the President.               

In the opposition politician’s view, the serving PM neither has his own political team nor particular ambitions.

“Ultimately, if the PM is dismissed, all members of the government likewise should be removed, [and] the parliament should be dissolved, in order to be fair,” Armen Martirosyan concluded.
