After martial law is lifted, we will launch the process of expressing lack of confidence in the Prime Minister since the Prime Minister, which is the symbol of defeat, must leave. This is what leader of the Bright Armenia opposition party, head of the Bright Armenia faction of the National Assembly Edmon Marukyan said during today’s discussion on the bill on lifting martial law held as part of the National Assembly’s special session.

“Over time, the incumbent authorities proved that it’s time for them to resign. The former authorities won’t return, but the incumbent authorities can’t stay. For two years, the incumbent authorities were busy trying to make former President of the Constitutional Court Hrayr Tovmasyan step down. Was this the main challenge facing Armenia? I was astounded by the recent statement by the foreign minister who said Armenia lost on the battle field, but not in diplomacy. As foreign minister, he has to know that diplomacy fails when a war breaks out,” he stated.
