election holding does not know the Armenian Constitution>, – secretary

press-club.

He also added that the Constitution says in what cases extraordinary
parliamentary election may be hold, today there is no reason for their

country at the post-election period>, – he said.

opposition and the authorities via discussions and debates. He also
