In order for the position of president not to remain vacant after the president fled, Shahramanyan assumed the powers of the president. It would have been much better if Arayik Harutyunyan had resigned earlier.
Armen Rustamyan, a deputy of the “Armenia” faction, said this in a conversation with reporters.
“Arayik Harutyunyan fled his position, he was left without a home, they didn’t let that homelessness remain.
There is a saying: “he had thrown the flag on the street, someone needed to pick it up.” Those people took the flag. Now they are accusing those people of standing up for themselves, not leaving it without a home. The anarchy was much worse, wasn’t it? It was a desperate situation, a desperate situation. Did he take that position to enjoy himself? Everyone knew that he was coming under great responsibility.
They ran away from that responsibility. No one told Arayik Harutyunyan to resign. If he had been elected, he should have stayed until the end. It would be much better if he resigned sooner,” the MP noted.
According to him, there was no pressure on Arayik Harutyunyan. “Arayik Harutyunyan was pressured by the responsibility that he had at that moment,” said Armen Rustamyan.
