First Deputy PM Karapetyan says will meet with opposition MP Nikol Pashinyan
Armenian First Deputy Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan will apply to the Prosecutor General asking to retract the decision on the motion requesting to deprive the detained opposition MPs of their immunity, he said on Monday.
“Today we have made a decision to apply to the Prosecutor General to retract the motion over the deputies from the National Assembly. Now I am going to meet with Mr Pashinyan to negotiate and find solutions,” he said.
“I believe we’ll have enough common sense and soberness to show the world that we, Armenians, can sit and find a reasonable solution to any issue, no matter how many complicated or unresolved issues we have,” Karapetyan said.
Opposition MPs Nikol Pashinyan, Ararat Mirzoyan and Sasun Mikayelyan were detained on Sunday.
