“Mr. President, I have never interfered in your affairs; you have never interfered in the affairs of the National Assembly. I have proposed a model; that model is this: I have not proposed an amorphous body, but the body that saved us in the 1990s. It is the State Defense Committee. To the country’s President, I proposed two people in that body. I don’t know their opinion; maybe they will refuse.
I suggested Ruben Vardanyan and Samvel Babayan. Why? Do not ask any questions. If that model didn’t work, I might hurt someone for the first time. Submit your resignation, Mr. President, or put your vote of confidence,” Artsakh Parliament Speaker Artur Tovmasyan made a statement at the session of the Artsakh Parliament on May 18. If the people did not trust Arayik Harutyunyan, Artur Tovmasyan said that he would leave as well, and he would not remain acting President.
