Armenia will hold early parliamentary elections in December - Nikol Pashinyan

December 2018 will be the time of early parliamentary elections in Armenia, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said today.

Speaking to reporters at the National Assembly, the premier also reiterated his cabinet’s strong commitment to assist in the conduct of a free and democratic voting. 

“A direct democratic government has now been established in Armenia. If it turns out that I am not the people’s representative in the status of Prime Minister, then no elections will take place. But if I turn out to be one, elections will be conducted,” ARMENPRESS quotes him as saying.

Pashinyan added that he also met with President of the National Assembly Ara Babloyan earlier today to brief him on his position on the need to conduct preterm elections.
