Armen Badalyan, a specialist in political and electoral technologies, told Hetq that MP Ruben Hayrapetyan's resignation statement was a public relations stunt.
Badalyan argued that Hayrapetyan should have condemned the Harsnakar Restaurant beating the very day it occurred and, as a member of parliament, he should have met with his electorate and explained what had happened.
The specialist said that Hayrapetyan should have also told voters that, for evident reasons, he had to leave parliament as well.
Badalyan says that it was only after Hayrapetyan was called to the Presidential Palace that he resigned, underscoring the fact that the president's words have more impact than those who voted for him.
