YEREVAN. – The MPs of  the opposition Prosperous Armenia and Bright Armenia factions on Tuesday boycotted the current agenda of the National Assembly (NA) and demonstratively left the NA Sessions’ Hall.

Before that, they insisted that at present there should be only one matter on the NA agenda: the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

To note, there are two matters on the current NA agenda, and one of them is the draft budget for 2021.

On November 9, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a joint statement on a complete cessation of hostilities in and around Artsakh. Accordingly, Russian peacekeepers will be deployed in the region to monitor the implementation of the ceasefire and the cessation of hostilities. But this statement also stipulates the handover of part of Artsakh lands to Azerbaijan.
