ArmInfo. The people of Armenia have repeatedly stated that the victory achieved should be registered de jure. On April 27, during the press conference in  Yerevan, the leader of the "Make a step" movement, opposition  lawmaker Nikol Pashinyan said,  referring to the upcoming elections  of the Prime Minister of Armenia.

The lawmaker also stressed that they repeatedly expressed their  position on the forthcoming elections on May 1. "The people have  repeatedly stated that our victory must be registered  de jure as  well." The question is whether the RPA wants to resolve the crisis,  if a Republican is elected to the post of Prime Minister, this crisis  will continue, as we will continue our peaceful demonstrations and  try explain to the Republicans, for example, Karen Karapetyan, as  Serzh Sargsyan explained, that they do not understand the current  situation in the country.Our position is that the head of the  Government should not be a Republican to ensure the legitimacy of new  parliamentary  elections ", - the oppositionist said.

At the same time, he forecasted the arrival of hundreds of thousands  of Armenian citizens to the streets of Yerevan on May 1. In this  regard, Pashinyan called on all citizens of the country on May 1 from  08:00 to be in Yerevan, to fill the streets and squares of the  capital adjacent to the National Assembly.

Touching on the voting of the Tsarukyan bloc and the ARF  Dashnaktsutyun party in the parliament, Pashinyan expressed the hope  that both of these forces will determine their position before the  first of May 1 and publicly announce how they will vote at the Prime  Minister's election. "I hope that by the first of May both these  forces will make a public statement and announce how they will vote  in the elections," he said.

To comment that the associates of the Tsarukyan bloc are talking  about the possible nomination of their leader in the candidates for  the premieres, Pashinyan expressed the conviction that any step will  be properly appreciated by the people.

Asked which of the RPA deputies expressed their readiness to join  them, he said that so far no one has taken practical steps in this  direction. According to him, there can be as many conversations as  possible, but as long as there are no practical steps, there is no  reason to ''shake the air".  In this regard, Pashinyan proposed  publishing the numbers of all the deputies of the Armenian parliament  in open access so that every citizen could contact them and convey  their position to them.

Asked why he held closed talks with representatives of the Tsarukyan  bloc and ARF Dashnaktsutyun party, meanwhile he does not want to take  the same step with the RPA, Pashinyan said he had closed negotiations  with the above-mentioned forces, since they did not advocate the  preservation of the country's crisis, while the RPA is currently a  supporter of the current crisis in the country. At the same time, he  said that he had held closed talks with Tsarukyan and  "Dashnaktsutyun", since they are not on the side of the RPA.

The MP also stressed that he has the people's mandate and is  supported by thousands of citizens both inside the country and  outside it, because they want to live safely in their state.   "Parliament simply must take into account the will of the people, I  put all my hopes today on the people, and it is the people who,  through pressure on the authorities, can fix the victory we have  achieved," the lawmaker said.

Touching on Robert Kocharian's possible nomination for the post of  Prime Minister, Pashinyan said that he considers this to be a  frivolous whispers. 

He also said that he is likely to boycott early parliamentary  elections unless he is elected prime minister of the country. For  this he will go to various actions, including the blockade of polling  stations.

"Either the political crisis will be resolved or deepened, that is,  we are not talking about the struggle for the chair, we express this  position because we are sure that the Armenian people are now at the  stage of revival, and it would be a betrayal not to make every effort  to de jure fixation this victory, "- added the leader of the  opposition movement.

Answering the question about why not appoint a neutral Prime  Minister, Pashinyan asked the counter question: "Who will be  responsible for the activity of this neutral Prime Minister?" Even if  we and the RPA agree on this issue, and then something will go not  so, who will be responsible? The RPA is in fact not responsible for  anything, all the responsibility will turn out to be assigned to us?  If responsibility is on us, then why should our prime minister not  take up this post with the same success? that oz achaet prime  minister without responsibility or liability, which will be borne by  others, it is absurd, "-Pashinyan exclaimed .

At the same time, he added that everything they offer is 100%  consistent with the current Constitution of the country, according to  which the parliament can appoint any citizen of Armenia as the prime  minister, and it is not necessary that he be a candidate for a  parliamentary majority.  Pashinyan also believes that the deputies of  the parliament are not prevented from voting for him if he is the  only candidate submitted. In his opinion, the RPA today must  demonstrate that it is ready to go to settle the crisis that has  developed in the country.
