Vazgen Manukyan, a candidate for prime minister of Armenia from the Homeland Salvation Movement, appealed to the deputies of the My Step bloc faction, urging them to leave the faction and act as independent MPs.

The latest war, the shameful result of which was the trilateral declaration, and the ongoing processes, create a new alarming situation in the country, he added.

"Today we are facing a real threat of a significant decrease in sovereignty and the transformation of the state into a defenseless entity. I understand the enthusiasm with which you assumed the responsibility of the authorities, being convinced that under Pashinyan's leadership you will build a new country in which law and justice will prevail, which will be modern, developed, and powerful, which will become a source of pride and dignity for all Armenians. Unfortunately, the opposite happened," he said.

"Nikol Pashinyan does not care, one way or another he will leave, leaving a black spot in our history. Don't take this stain on yourself," he added.
