"The CP youth wing has decided to purge the faction of older MPs and get rid of them one by one.
According to "Zhoghovurd" daily, after Hovik Aghazaryan and Hakob Aslanyan, the next is Gagik Melkonyan. KP youths intend to remove him from their ranks as well.
The CP members have serious reasons for the removal of Gagik Melkonyan.
First, the latter tried to defend Hovik Aghazaryan "half-heartedly" at the session of the faction and said that it was not necessary to make his personal correspondence public and read.
Apart from that, the CP elite was also irritated by the fact that Gagik Melkonyan often goes beyond the CP "lines" and arbitrarily makes rude and impermissible statements about Russian officials, especially Maria Zakharova.
The CP believes that Gagik Melkonyan is crossing red lines, especially in relation to the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.
Even during the closed session of the CP, Hayk Konjoryan and Artur Hovhannisyan "instructed" Gagik Melkonyan: if he cannot speak thoughtfully, then let him remain silent and not give interviews.
As we can see, Gagik Melkonyan is also unable to control himself and sometimes continues to make rash statements after remaining silent, which angers the KP youth even more.
In a conversation with "Zhoghovurd" daily, Gagik Melkonyan denied that they intend to remove him from the faction, but insisted that if Nikol Pashinyan says so, he will leave the mandate.
