Armenia’s National Assembly Speaker Alen Simonyan signed the protocol on the termination of Armen Sarkissian’s authorities as the president of the republic.

As a result, Simonyan has temporarily assumed the powers of the President of Armenia.

“Based on the resignation application of the President of the Republic and guided by the requirements of Article 142 of the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia and Clause 2 of Part 1 and Part 2 of Article 147 of the Rules of Procedure of the National Assembly, consider the authorities of the President of the Republic Armen Sarkissian terminated,” the protocol reads.

Armen Sarkissian, who was elected Armenia’s president by parliament in 2018, announced his resignation on January 23. He explained his step by the fact that the president has no instruments to influence major issues in the country.
