"The ongoing political crisis in Armenia will be settled within the Constitution and the laws," the Head of Homeland party Artur Vanetsyan said at the briefing with reporters before the Saturday rally of the opposition Homeland Salvation Movement. 

Vanetsyan said that much expected changes are taking place as result of the rallies as people change their mood and perception. 

"At first, the authorities tried to present this struggle as a simple fight for power between the old and new authorities, yet the public realized that the matter is about a more serious thing and refers to the existence of our country and its well-being," Vanetsyan stressed, adding even those citizens who do not support the Movement still visit Baghramyan avenue to voice their discontent. 

"Our agenda remains the same – to remove Pashinyan, form an interim government and then go to snap elections. The people of Armenia  will decide who will come to power in Armenia through a free will," said the opposition politician, adding Pashinyan has proved his inability to ensure fair elections. 

"Our actions will continue. Baghramyan avenue is shut down. and our supporters are here. More rallies and marches are expected. As to concrete actions, those may result in Pashinyan's forced resignation under increased public pressure," added Vanetsyan.
