His post reads as follows:

Countrymen,

Like the overwhelming majority of the people, I also learned about the signed statement from the press.

Disagreeing with the position of the political team, I declare.

1. I am leaving the “My Step” faction, from now on I will act as an independent deputy.

2. I will direct my further parliamentary activity to get out of the current situation with as few losses as possible, I will start solving the problems of the Artsakh Armenians. It is only for this reason that I do not resign from my parliamentary mandate.

God protect us.
