Vahe Hakobyan, a member of the "Hayastan" faction, has been dismissed from his position as the chairman of the National Assembly's Economic Affairs Standing Committee. In a closed ballot, 66 members voted in favor of his removal, with 0 votes against.

It is noteworthy that the initiative to remove Hakobyan from the chairmanship came from the "Civil Contract" faction.
