President of the Football Federation of Armenia (FFA), MP Ruben
Hayrapetyan is not resigning from his parliamentary mandates at this
time because he doesn't want to "burden the state with expenses." He
said this himself while speaking to journalists in the Armenian
capital today.
The MP once again confirmed remarks made at an press conference
earlier this year in which he said that the National Assembly is
"not his place," saying that he won't be in the running for a seat
in parliament in the next convocation.
"I would gladly resign now, but it's meaningless because there's [only]
2-3 months left... to burden the state with additional expenses, to
hold new elections - every election is a financial expense for the
state, right? Is it worth it to submit a resignation for 2-3 months?
Not at all! That's why it's not desirable. Be patient, all right,
there's 2-3 months left. I'll go, what [more] do you want?" said the
MP who was absent 237 out of 239 meetings in parliament this spring.
