What will happen if the opposition MPs defy their mandates?

Political scientist Stepan Danielyan writes on his Facebook page. "One of the main topics now is the question of defying the mandates of the opposition. Some say that in such a case nothing extraordinary will happen, except for the reduction of the expenses of the NA budget and the deterioration of the social condition of dozens of families.

The National Assembly can continue its work without meaningless debates, the purpose of which is that the parliamentary opposition only reminds of its existence and creates an illusion of the National Assembly's work.

On the other hand, the Constitution and the NA regulations have clauses that refer to the opposition, and in its absence, the NA becomes incomplete. For example, the opposition should take some positions and the number of mandates should be 1/3, etc.
Understanding that in the case of the current regime, it is absolutely not important which clauses of the constitution and laws are violated: they will formulate and continue their work as they wish.

But... a number of questions arise regarding the internal and external legitimacy of the current government.

Internal problems

In domestic life, this National Assembly will not represent the proportion of political ideas of the public. In fact, now, the National Assembly represents 25% of the public (the number of participants in the elections) with the ideas of the political situation in 2021, and according to the current opinion polls, only 5-10%, which is nonsense and such a one-party National Assembly cannot be the highest political body perceived. This will be the end of celebrity "legitimacy" talk.

External problems

Armenia is facing serious political problems and decisions, and no international partner will want to work with a government whose legality can be challenged in court by the next government. Who needs such a partner in Armenia and who should conduct serious negotiations with them? It is the external sponsors of the regime who will force new NA elections to be held and will find a way to "convince".

P.S. As a result of Macron's party's 16% in the EU Parliament, France is going to early elections, and in Ukraine, a big problem has arisen, how to start negotiations with Zelensky, whose term has already expired. And who said that if any contract is signed with him, years later, the next leadership of Ukraine will not question them and will not dissolve the contracts.

He will not conduct any negotiations and, in general, he will not interact with the government representing 5-10 percent of the one-party parliament, where there is not even a president elected through state elections."
