EXTRAORDINARY ELECTIONS ARE IN ARMENIA’S INTERESTS: ARMENIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS

The Armenian National Congress (HAK) continues to insist that
extraordinary elections are necessary for the country.
Meeting with journalists today, HAK coordinator Levon Zurabyan said
that nothing’s changed in the country, both political and economic
crises continue; consequently, they don’t see any grounds for
withdrawing the idea of holding extraordinary elections.
Asked when those elections will take place, Zurabyan said, "We’ve
noted reasonable timelines." Earlier, HAK had noted a final deadline
of September to hold extraordinary elections.
Zurabyan said that such elections can’t be late since, in that case,
the political crisis will deepen, but they also can’t be held too soon,
because time is needed to prepare for elections.
"Extraordinary elections is the best suggestion that is in Armenia’s
interests," said the HAK coordinator, adding that he considers the
likelihood of regular elections to be more unlikely than that of
extraordinary elections.
