That Armenia may hold early elections is a possibility, but presently
the situation in the country is stable, said head of OSCE Yerevan
Office, Ambassador Sergey Kapinos of the Russian Federation, at a
press conference today, referring to statements by the opposition
who intend to hold early elections in autumn.

"I personally do not foresee such a situation which could lead to
early elections," he said.

At the same time, Kapinos mentioned that the financial crisis has
seriously affected both Armenia and its citizens, adding that obviously
there is a serious problem in Armenia’s economy.

"It turned out that [Armenia’s] economy is not that modern and
dynamic," said Kapinos. In his words, all these factors bring about
social tension.
