Prosperous Armenia party initiates emergency parliament session

YEREVAN, November 11. /ARKA/. The opposition Prosperous Armenia party said it will initiate an emergency session of the parliament. Prosperous Armenia party MP Naira Zohrabyan told a rally today that they are starting the process of calling an emergency session of the National Assembly exclusively by legal means. 'There is a legal option, we do not want bloodshed," Zohrabyan said.

She called on her colleagues from the Bright Armenia and My Step factions to join the initiative to ensure the necessary quorum.

Prosperous Armenia MPs already tried to initiate an extraordinary session of the parliament on November 10 late evening, but did not collect the required number of signatures.

Representatives of 17 opposition parties, including the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK), staged a rally in Yerevan on Wednesday afternoon demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, accusing him of inconsistent policies, which resulted in the war with Azerbaijan.

They reiterated their call for the prime minister to step down, blaming him for heavy concessions Armenians had to accept as part of the trilateral deal reached by Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan to end the war in Nagorno-Karabakh.-0-
