ArmInfo. Minister of Economic Development and Investments of Armenia Artsvik Minasyan, member of ARF Dashnaktsutyun believes that, in one way or another, early parliamentary elections will be held in the republic. "The fact that the balance of forces in the parliament today does not correspond to the established realities is a fact," he said in a conversation with journalists at the Sardarapat Battle memorial on May 28.
According to him, today Armenia, as a state, should be ready for the early parliamentary elections, since the electoral system with all its infrastructures must be subject to changes. These efforts, he noted, are also important from the point of view of increasing the level of public confidence in the institutions of power.

At the same time, the head of the Ministry of Economic Development and Investment expressed the opinion that the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, when presenting the program of the government, will touch upon this topic, and then it becomes clear when and under what conditions elections will be held. To note, yesterday the vice-premier Tigran Avinyan, on began to call specific deadlines, but said that the extraordinary parliamentary elections will be held in Armenia regardless of the will of the Republican Party. Meanwhile, the head of the Republican Party of Armenia faction Vahram Baghdasaryan stated earlier that at present there is no need to hold early elections. As he pointed out, the RPA will prepare for elections only in 2022.
