Yerevan / 03.10.18 / Turan: Last evening in Armenia, another confrontation began between the Prime Minister and the Parliament, which resulted in a serious political crisis.
The reason for this was the attempts of the parliamentary majority in the person of the members of the former ruling Republican Party to sabotage the efforts of the Prime Minister to dissolve parliament and hold extraordinary parliamentary elections.
After that, thousands of Pashinyan supporters blocked the deputies in the parliament building, and Pashinyan himself held talks with them. At the conclusion of this he declared that the opposition would not stand for the post of Prime Minister, and he himself would resign.
Deputies from the Republican Party, Dashnaktsutyun and the Tsarukyan bloc assured that they "accept the demands of the people and will not run for Prime Minister."
The parties agreed to sign a document on the timing of the December special elections and the obligations of the parties.
In addition, Pashinyan signed decrees on the release from office of 6 ministers from parties Prosperous Armenia and Dashnaktsutyun, accusing them of "counter-revolutionary" activities together with members of the Republican Party.
On the morning of October 3, however, the parliament was unable to start work due to the lack of a quorum. Apparently, it"s too early to talk about overcoming the political crisis in Armenia. -02D-
