ArmInfo. The early  parliamentary elections are likely to take place. Director of the  Caucasus Institute Alexander Iskandaryan adheres to this point of  view.

According to him, the transit of power was not completed in April-May  of the current year, the parliament remained Republican in terms of  the number of mandates. "In any case, the new forces were able to  take executive power, but not legislative. It would be logical to  assume that this will happen relatively soon," the political analyst  noted in his video message from the Institute's page in Facebook,  referring to yesterday's events in Yerevan.

The political analyst is convinced that delaying this process will  lead to both a loss of pace and a political loss for both parties.  Another thing, according to Iskandaryan, was that there was no  absolute certainty about victory, it appeared after the elections to  the Yerevan Council of Elders, during the time the ruling force  gained 82%. "Accordingly, the new authorities needed to hold  elections fairly quickly, especially if there is an electoral  resource for this. When there is political will and electoral  resources, it begins what we have witnessed - Pashinyan decided to go  for quick elections," the political scientist said. in this context,  he added that the Republican Party of Armenia, on the contrary, has  practically no electoral resources.  Based on this, according to  Iskandaryan, the RPA has an inverse task - to slow down the processes  and survive until the rating of the new authorities begins to fall,  and then it will be possible to take at least some place in the  political system of the country, which is not in the interests of the  current authorities.

He also believes that the pre-term processes will be achieved by  putting pressure on the deputies, as was done in April of this year,  as was done with the resignation of Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan.  "The early parliamentary elections in Armenia are very likely to be  held and will be held very quickly. The terms that Pashinyan calls  them are more or less realistic, and since it is clear that  post-revolutionary sentiments continue to euphoria, the overwhelming  majority in the parliament will be taken by the force that he will  call Pashinyan. Accordingly, a rather turbulent period awaits us,  after which we will have a parliament in which there will be a  formal, but in reality there will be almost no opposition and it will  not be able to influence the political of sul processes in the  country ", - the expert said.
