MP Shirak Torosyan, who sits on the Armenian National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Foreign Relations, says he'll be leaving the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) faction in parliament.

Torosyan, a member of the Powerful Homeland party, writes in a Facebook post that he’s leaving the faction because his perspective on recent political developments in Armenia differs from that of the RPA

Torosyan says that he might be a Powerful Homeland candidate in snap parliamentary elections scheduled for sometime later this year.
