ArmInfo. Unprecedented conditions have been created in Armenia since 1995 to hold free and fair elections, the leader of the "Constituent Parliament" movement, hero of the Karabakh war Zhirayr Sefilyan stated on August 23, at a press conference in Yerevan,.
He stated that the transitional government did not take radical measures during the removal of the former regime from power, but surgical intervention will still be needed after some time. According to him, today Armenia faces serious challenges, which does not mean returning the former authorities to the political arena of the country. "Their times have passed, the former people will not be able to return to power, although we perfectly understand that they are trying to do this not of their own free will, and we know who is pushing them to this." This geopolitical force must understand that there are new times in Armenia and cooperation with our country is possible on equal terms, "Sefilyan said.
At the same time, the hero of the Karabakh war stressed that he and the "Sasna Tsrer" party being established by him will cooperate with the incumbent prime minister Nikol Pashinyan and will support his initiatives. "We must understand that Pashinyan's failure is our common failure, there is no way back, and if we manage to find the right ways to participate in the upcoming extraordinary elections to the Armenian parliament, the possible entry of representatives of the former regime, the so-called counterrevolutionaries, into the new National Assembly will be ruled out. The new parliament should have patriots who will be able to lead the country out of the deep crisis, which it currently faces. Pashinyan does not talk about it, but Armenia is in serious crisis, it has become impoverished, and in order to put it on feet, dedicated work and patriotism are needed", Sefilyan summed up.
