MP Vilen Gabrielyan from Civil Contract renounces his parliamentary mandate

Armenian MP Vilen Gabrielyan from the Civil Contract Party has announced his decision to resign from his parliamentary mandate.

“I consider the so-called incidents with my participation that took place in the city of Gyumri last Sunday to be unworthy of a member of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia. The NA member in his mission is obliged to uphold appropriate conduct.

In light of this, I publicly apologize to everyone and officially declare my decision to relinquish my parliamentary mandate. I will submit the application to the National Assembly Staff today, in accordance with the proper procedures,” he said on Facebook.
