ArmInfo. In the upcoming elections we will support the candidacy of the people's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. On April 30, in a conversation with journalists, after a meeting with the candidate for the post of prime minister from the Yelk faction, Nikol Pashinyan, a deputy from the Tsaroukyan bloc faction, Naira Zohrabyan, stated.
She noted that the meeting discussed issues of bilateral interest related to the further joint work of the factions. "Block Tsaroukyan" never put forward preconditions in matters of cooperation. We are sure of one thing, we have a worthy opportunity to break the system that has long been rooted in our country. And we must unite our forces without ultimatums in order to lead the country out of the complicated situation that has arisen. All our deputies, who are now in Armenia, will participate tomorrow in the elections, "the deputy noted.
Zohrabyan also said that there is a need for a specific time frame for when there will be early elections to the parliament, while the time for proper organization of these elections is necessary. "We put forward certain proposals, in particular, we proposed to abandon the rating system, etc. The most important thing for us now is to properly prepare for the forthcoming elections so that the elections are held as fairly as possible." We need to implement changes in the Electoral Code, negotiate with organizations that will be able to provide assistance in this matter. We need to prepare well so as not to repeat the mistakes of past elections, "the deputy noted. As to whether the Republican Party will vote for Pashinyan's candidacy, Zohrabyan expressed her hope that the words of the head of the RPA faction Vahram Baghdasaryan that the RPA will not become an obstacle if there is a consensus between the 3 parliamentary factions on the candidacy of the prime minister will not be just words.
In his turn, the candidate for the post of prime minister from the Elk faction Nikol Pashinyan noted after the meeting with the deputies of the Tsaroukyan Bloc that the bloc MPs said they would vote for him. "We agreed that this is a good opportunity to put Armenia on the track of sustainable and rapid development, and we have reached mutual understanding on all issues," the MP said.
