The President of Armenia is fully responsible for the situation created in the country, and one of the ways to solve the situation is for the head of state to observe the Constitution and apply to the Constitutional Court. This is what coordinator of the opposition Homeland Salvation Movement, representative of the Supreme Body of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutyun political party Ishkhan Saghatelyan told reporters on Marshal Baghramyan Avenue in Yerevan today, adding this is what the opposition expects from the President and that the opposition always has scenarios.
“We’ll determine our actions according to the situation tomorrow and go in that direction,” he said.
When told that various political parties are having meetings with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to hold snap elections, Saghatelyan said the only item on the opposition’s agenda is Nikol Pashinyan’s resignation. “We’re always ready to meet and discuss the roadmap for his resignation. As far as his calls for snap elections are concerned, in my opinion, Pashinyan doesn’t really want to hold snap elections. Pashinyan wants to distract the people’s attention with this. If Pashinyan is sincere, let him come to parliament, resign and designate snap elections. His decision doesn’t depend on the decision of other parliamentary forces at all. Pashinyan’s party is the ruling party in parliament. If he thinks the parliamentary faction won’t vote for another candidate for Prime Minister, this means Pashinyan’s faction isn’t the majority in parliament and must resign,” Saghatelyan said.
