David Hakobyan, the leader of Marxist Party of Armenia, announced Tuesday that his party secedes from the Armenian National Congress.

"The bloc has failed to become a force capable to generate a new national idea and foreign and domestic policy doctrine," Hakobyan told reporters. "A new political force should be formed to resolve problems the Armenian society faces."

Asked what political forces his party intends to collaborate with, Hakobyan said, "First of all with God, then with the Armenian people."
