Yerevan, 22 August: The head of the Justice bloc and the leader of the
People’s Party of Armenia, Stepan Demirchyan, does not rule out the
possibility of extraordinary parliamentary and presidential elections
being held in Armenia.

In an interview with Iravunk newspaper, he said that people had
lost patience and they were convinced that political methods were
ineffective in the struggle against the current authorities.

If the authorities rig elections once again, this will have
unforeseeable consequences and in this case responsibility will rest
with the authorities, Demirchyan said.
