Hovik Aghazaryan expelled from Armenia's ruling party

MP Hovik Aghazaryan has been expelled from Armenia’s ruling Civil Contract party.

The decision was made at its board meeting chaired by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan late on Monday.

Civil Contract said in a statement that Aghazaryan “leaked confidential information regarding the state and the party and grossly violated moral norms.”

Hovik Aghazaryan earlier declined Pashinyan’s request to resign from the parliament.
