YEREVAN. – It is time to raise the question on government’s resignation, secretary of opposition ANC Aram Manukyan told reporters.

His comments came after the parliamentary majority voted down the initiative on setting up a committee to discuss gas debts.

Manukyan said four non-coalition parliamentary forces will hold consultations to determine further actions.

“The recent vote showed that the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) is a political force covering government’s bargains. RPA did not have enough courage to vote for a committee, although many republicans abstained from voting,” Manukyan added.
