YEREVAN, March 3. /TASS/. The Armenian authorities are ready to call early parliamentary elections provided the opposition agrees to sign a corresponding memorandum, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told parliament on Wednesday.

"We can call early elections during 2021, if the opposition – the opposition in parliament in the first place – agrees to hold them [by signing a corresponding memorandum]. For this purpose, I have already invited the leaders of oppositional factions to meet for consultations," he said.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
