I know Anna Vardapetyan and I regret that she is in this situation, member of the opposition "Armenia" block Aram Vardevanyan said.

His remarks came during the procession of the Resistance Movement on  Thursday.

The oppositionist called her nomination for prosecutor general "absurd."

"The Prosecutor General should be an independent person, not from an assistant to the Prime Minister to become the Prosecutor General. We will not participate in the discussion of the election of the prosecutor general," he noted.

The head of the parliamentary faction of the ruling Civil Contract party Hayk Konjoryan said in a conversation with journalists at the Armenian National Assembly that their faction will nominate Anna Vardapetyan for the position of Armenia's Prosecutor General.

The term of office of Prosecutor General Artur Davtyan expires on 16 September.
