Armenian MPs today refrained from answering whether Republican MP
Ruben Hayrapetyan would give up his seat in parliament or not.
"I shall speak to you after Hayrapetyan recalls his resignation,"
said Armen Rustamyan, an MP of the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation-Dashnaktsutyun.
Tigran Urikhanyan, Spokesman for the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK),
does not find it correct to interpret the actions of his colleagues,
especially those that have nothing to do with his party.
Eduard Sharmazanov, Vice-Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly
and Spokesman for the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK), did not even
want to comment on the interview conducted by Nouvelles d'Armenie
with Ruben Hayrapetyan.
Earlier, Ruben Hayrapetyan announced his intention to recall the
resignation and wait until the investigation into the circumstances
surrounding the death of military doctor Vahe Avetyan was completed.
Hayrapetyan's statements do not instill faith in Nikol Pshinyan,
a lawmaker from the Armenian National Congress (HAK).
"In one of his press conferences, Ruben Hayrapetyan expressed readiness
to debate with HAK representatives but as you saw he refused to
do it during a live broadcast. This is only a small episode from
Hayrapetyan's biography. I do not think that the topic is so important
as to be discussed," said Mr. Pashinyan.
While defending his Republican colleague, HHK MP Mkrtich Minasyan
said Hayrapetyan always took decisions inspired by the principles of
common sense.
"I have a high opinion about Hayrapetyan, his human qualities,
dignity and if he has decided to wait till the end of the trial,
it means he has reasons to behave so," he said.
Ruben Hayrapetyan is expected to resign over the public uproar over
the death of Armenian army physician Vahe Avetyan at his Harsnakar
restaurant.
On July 17, Vahe Avetyan, head of ENT (ear-nose-throat) department
at the Defense Ministry's Yerevan garrison hospital, and his friends
[also army doctors] were subjected to violent beating at Hayrapetyan's
Harsnakar Restuarant. After a 12-day fight for his life, Avetyan died
in hospital on July 29 without regaining consciousness. Following the
tragedy, civil activists, NGOs and ordinary citizens organized protests
demanding to evoke Ruben Hayrapetyan of his parliamentary mandate.
