On February 13, during the “Urvagits” TV program over “Kentron” TV channel, the Prosperous Armenia faction member Vardan Oskanyan announced that Serzh Sargsyan’s statement is a sufficient ground for impeachment. “This speech is a serious violation of the Constitution, and our Constitution allows putting the issue of impeachment in the event of violating it,” said Oskanyan. “There was a bile in Serzh Sargsyan’s speech, there was malice, and this speech was not of one day and one moment. It is obvious that there was something accumulated, which burst out. The speech was absolutely anti-constitutional. Each sentence and paragraph was anti-constitutional by its nature. The security forces were directly instructed to go and file a criminal case against Tsarukyan. The president of the country has no right to issue such instructions,” mentioned Vardan Oskanyan.
On February 14, during the second congress of the “Mission” political party, PAP faction member Stepan Margaryan also talked about the regime change. Aravot.am asked the faction member Stepan Margaryan whether the impeachment is the Prosperous Armenia party’s orientation, and whether it is possible for the party to join Nikol Pashinyan’s impeachment initiative, he replied, at this point, neither one nor the other, adding that he does not rule out such a course of the events. “At this point we do not have the final discussed version of what we will be doing. We have a plan of what we will be doing, it’s the joint decision with the society and the people, the public events, during which certain activities will be made also at the National Assembly. The discussion are still underway, when they are ready, we will make them public.”
Michael Melkumyan added that the Impeachment is not an end in itself and should make a part of overall actions. “If we demand a resignation, and he does not accept it, he is just ensuring a mechanism, a bridge, which we will consider in general, in the complex. But at this point, we do not have the complex of moves, we will consider them in the meantime. As soon as the moment comes, you will know.”
