ARF ready for snap parliamentary elections – minister Artsvik Minasyan

In all cases, snap parliamentary elections should be held in Armenia, it’s another issue that the state should be ready for that, Artsvik Minasyan – minister of economic development and investments, told reporters in the Sardarapat Memorial, commenting on the question that the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA)is not inclined to hold snap elections.

“It’s necessary for the state to be ready for that, since the electoral system with its entire infrastructure should undergo change so that the people’s trust will be higher in the context of new political environment. It’s a fact that today the ratio presented in the parliament obviously doesn’t in accordance with our realities, but when the elections need to be held, I think the Prime Minister, while presenting the government’s program in the future, will talk in-detail about this. Especially when everyone believed that anything is impossible, but the life, the actions of Nikol Pashinyan [Prime Minister] showed that impossible becomes possible. Therefore, it’s very important for us that every possible thing derives from the interests of our people and statehood”, the minister added.

Asked whether the ARF (Armenian Revolutionary Federation) is ready for elections, minister Minasyan said it is always ready.
