I applied to the administration of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan with a proposal to organize a meeting with the head of the government. I also intend to give him an opportunity to speak at the rally to be held in the next few hours in the Republic Square, Edgar Ghazaryan, former ambassador of Armenia to Poland and former head of the Constitutional Court Office, told journalists today

He said that he has not yet received an answer. Accordingly, a specific time for the meeting has not yet been set.

"Nikol Pashinyan is among those officials who, when coming to power, promised to be public. In addition, the President of the Republic Armen Sargsyan met with him publicly in due time, after which a meeting with Serzh Sargsyan was also held in the format specified by him. So I expect that the meeting will take place, though. At least we haven't received a refusal yet," Ghazaryan said.

He added that if the meeting is held it will be related to Nikol Pashinyan's resignation. The meeting itself will be attended by journalists.

The former head of the Constitutional Court staff also said he is ready to give Pashinyan the opportunity to speak at the rally in the Republic Square. However, Pashinyan, at this rally, will have to repeat his own speech given in 2018 on the occasion of his 100 days in power.

Journalists asked if Ghazaryan had consulted with former president Serzh Sargsyan about the agenda he was promoting and the organization of today's rally. In response, Ghazaryan noted that he had discussed the issue with many political forces, NGOs, former Supreme Soviet deputies, as well as Armenia's third and second presidents, Serzh Sargsyan and Robert Kocharyan, respectively.

"I also tried to arrange a meeting with Armenia's first president Levon Ter-Petrosyan, but I failed," the former ambassador assured.

The oppositionist hastened to note that these meetings do not mean that he is under anyone's influence.
