Leader of the My Step faction of the National Assembly of Armenia Lilit Makunts today told reporters that Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan will obviously have a meeting with leader of Prosperous Armenia Party Gagik Tsarukyan and that, in any case, he has sent an invitation.

Makunts added that she doesn’t know how the developments will unfold.

Touching upon the Prime Minister’s meeting with leader of the opposition Bright Armenia Party Edmon Marukyan, Makunts said the following: “Marukyan said there will be a second round of negotiations, but I would recommend not going farther and waiting for the results of the second round.”

Asked if she thinks the My Step faction might form a coalition with Bright Armenia Party in a certain stage, Makunts said it wouldn’t be right to talk about coalitions in this stage and that it’s necessary to move forward step-by-step and reach an agreement over the holding of snap elections.

Earlier, Pashinyan had informed that he would have meetings with opposition parliamentary forces to consider the holding of snap parliamentary elections. Pashinyan has already met with Marukyan.
