NA Vice Speaker excludes snap elections in Armenia
Though Armenian parliamentarians are on vacation, ARF-Dashnaktsutyun MPs were at the National Assembly today.
Talking to A1+, NA Vice Speaker Samvel Nikoyan said he will go on holiday in mid-August as he coordinates his vacations with the NA schedule.
Nikoyan does not expect new surprises during the fall session, which according to him, will not differ from previous ones.
"The opposition has always called for snap elections. Every year we expect a hot autumn, with numerous political developments and snap elections but the parliament always proceeds with its normal routine," Nikoyan told A1+.
"All political forces are preparing for parliamentary elections and it doesn't matter what catchwords or slogans they use during the campaign. It will not affect the conduction and outcome of elections," he said.
If earlier parliamentarians complained of the activeness of Heritage opposition faction, today the NA vice-chairman expressed displeasure over the parliamentary minority.
"Heritage was passive during the spring faction, which, unfortunately, resembled a suicide attempt. I think that the party will be more active during the fall session," said Nikoyan adding that the public will decide the parties to be represented in parliament.
At present, Nikoyan calls public attention to the Karabakh conflict saying it is the most important issue in the country's foreign policy.
