“According to the second part of the 147th article of the constitutional law, within a week he can withdraw his resignation in writing,” TASS quoted Simonyan as saying.

According to him, if Sargsyan does not withdraw the application, then a protocol will be drawn up on the termination of his powers, which will be signed by the speaker.

Armenian President Armen Sarkissian earlier decided to resign.

He motivated his decision by the fact that he no longer has the necessary tools "to influence the radical processes of domestic and foreign policy."
