ArmInfo.Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that from September 29 he will deal with the issue of extraordinary parliamentary elections.

"We need to discuss this issue with the parliamentary forces, I hope  that we will be able to reach an agreement. At the heart of these  discussions I will put the lack of preconditions for any method. This  is due to the fact that a political issue was raised during the  elections to the Yerevan Council of Elders Specifically, there was a  question of "for" and "against" holding early parliamentary  elections. As a result, the "My Step" bloc gathered an unprecedented  number of votes at 81%, "said Pashinyan during a live broadcast on  Facebook.

At the same time, he expressed the conviction that these indicators  indicate that citizens clearly raise the question of the need for  holding extraordinary parliamentary elections. "If it is argued that  people's demands are not so clear, then we will find evidence to the  contrary, namely that the need for holding extraordinary elections is  higher than some of our colleagues represent," - said Pashinyan,  adding that holding extraordinary elections is inevitable and should  be held as soon as possible.  According to him, the whole  international community, potential investors and the business  environment are important for everyone.

According to the prime minister, now that passions in the  post-election period have somewhat subsided, in such a calm  atmosphere with parliamentary forces it is necessary to discuss and  find solutions. "If doubts are expressed regarding the views of  people, I think we will also think about how public opinion can be  learned on a broader scale. But I hope that this will not come to  this, and the facts are enough to make sure that in the shortest  possible time, of course, not in a hurry, but we will be able to  organize elections, after which the post-revolutionary period will be  successfully passed and the development issues of the country will  become the main agenda item, "concluded  Pashinyan.
