The leaders of the opposition Prosperous Armenia and Bright Armenia factions of the National Assembly have issued a joint statement.

In this regard, Edmon Marukyan, chairman of the Bright Armenia Party and head of its parliamentary faction, on Monday morning wrote this on Facebook: "About two weeks ago, as the leaders of the opposition factions of the National Assembly, together with Gagik Tsarukyan [the leader of Prosperous Armenia Party], we had petitioned to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan with a proposal to convene an emergency session of the Security Council, which, however, has not taken place yet.

Taking into account that the hostilities in Artsakh [(Nagorno-Karabakh)] are still going on, today we again petitioned to the Prime Minister, with a demand for an immediate meeting with the parliamentary opposition factions."
