ArmInfo. By voting for the "My Step" bloc, you vote for the dissolution of the Armenian parliament and the holding of early parliamentary elections. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this on September 20 during the pre-election rally of the "My Step'' bloc .
"We will use the same tool as in the days of the velvet revolution. Twice in the square I asked for a mandate to negotiate on your behalf with Serzh Sargsyan and Karen Karapetyan. I said that the talks should concern the resignation of Serzh Sargsyan and the transfer of power. The political context of these elections is the same, and I want to get your mandate for negotiations with parliamentary forces, and it is very important that you give a powerful mandate to solve this issue, "Pashinyan said.
He said that in order to achieve early elections he needs everyone's voice, and holding of early elections became the most important issue on the domestic agenda. "After the elections, when the citizens of Armenia, the residents of Yerevan, the capital of the revolution, give their powerful mandate on the basis of which I will invite the leaders of the parliamentary factions and the leadership of the parliament to discuss this issue, but this requires your strong support," Pashinyan said. He said that the parliament has no legitimacy, does not express the will of the people and is formed on the basis of large-scale electoral bribery. "In Armenia, there can not be such elections and such government bodies anymore and a citizen of Armenia needs a parliament formed according to its free will," he said and added that the winning team will assume greater responsibility, and in the next round the referendum institution should be strengthened.
