The Prime Minister of Armenia fears that certain deputies of the My Step bloc might vote for an opposition candidate for Prime Minister, if that candidate runs in the elections. This is what deputy of the opposition Bright Armenia faction of the National Assembly of Armenia Ani Samsonyan told reporters today.

According to her, the problem is not only that the parliamentary opposition will nominate its candidate, but also the fact that the Prime Minister is afraid that the deputies of the ruling faction will vote for that particular candidate.

“Pashinyan is trying to neutralize these dangers as much as possible. The memorandum that he offered us was about not letting the parliamentary opposition nominate its candidate,” Samsonyan said, adding that the Bright Armenia Party hasn’t held discussions with the deputies of the Prosperous Armenia Party.
