YEREVAN. – No one can underestimate or demean the work of any member of the Armenian delegation to the PACE. Edmon Marukyan—a member of the Armenian delegation to the PACE, chairman of the opposition Bright Armenia Party and head of its parliamentary faction—stated this at Tuesday’s press conference in the National Assembly, commenting on the criticism of the work and actions by Ruben Rubinyan—head of the Armenian delegation to the PACE, and an MP of the ruling My Step bloc.

According to Marukyan, any delegation is one team, and it should work together, regardless of any possible or existing disagreements. "We have never behaved like the previous opposition. In those years, there were even cases when the members of the same delegation refused to fly with each other on the same plane, so that they would not have the chance to see each other again," the MP added.

Also, he stressed that their delegation always works together as a team.

Rubinyan, in his turn, fully agreed with his colleague.
