The only thing I can tell you is that the idea of granting the National Assembly the right to self-dissolution is being considered. This is what deputy of the ruling My Step bloc of the National Assembly of Armenia Vahagn Hovakimyan told reporters in parliament today.

According to him, the ruling My Step bloc’s parliamentary faction hasn’t held a discussion on this yet, bu it might give a negative conclusion.

Asked if this is the ruling majority’s initiative, the deputy paused and gave an affirmative answer. In response to a specifying question why the idea has come up, the deputy said the issue was considered when amendments were being made to the Constitution.

When reporters noted that citizens might get the impression that the ruling bloc doesn’t know how to dissolve the parliament since it renounces Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s resignation and is trying to find alternative paths to solve the issue, Hovakimyan said this is only reporters’ impression.
