YEREVAN. – Heritage party hopes that parliamentary faction secretary Tevan Poghosyan will revise his decision on renouncing the parliamentary seat.

“I hope Tevan Poghosyan will revise his decision. His work received positive assessment of the party and society. I think he must continue his work,” party’s board member Armen Martirosyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

The decision will be announced only during the February session of the National Assembly.

“Moreover, as we have already noted, in the list of candidates he is followed by a member of Free Democrats party Masis Ayvazyan, so Heritage has nothing to decide on the matter, unless Free Democrats take another move,” Martirosyan added.

Tevan Poghosyan informed about his decision to give up the mandate as an MP via Facebook.

“I have submitted to the National Assembly speaker my petition to renounce my mandate as an MP.I had made my decision a long time ago. I was just waiting for the end of the political year so as not to leave the assumed responsibility unfinished. 

I will continue my fight in the public sector,” he wrote.
