ArmInfo. In the post-war period, many questions have emerged that need to be answered. The government is aware of its responsibility in finding answers to these  questions, and is ready for it. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated   this in an interview with 1in.am portal.

Presenting his options for resolving the tense internal political  situation in the country, the head of the Armenian government pointed  to the possibility of holding early parliamentary elections. He   stressed that speaking about the internal political crisis, there is  a need to understand its characteristics, especially when the  government and the parliamentary majority are stable in the country.  The Prime Minister recalled that at the end of last year he made a  proposal to hold early parliamentary elections, which, first of all,  was addressed to the parliamentary opposition. "But this proposal was  rejected," Nikol Pashinyan said, noting that holding early elections  would help to defuse the existing tensions and could become an  instrument for changing the atmosphere that was established after the   war.  "But, unfortunately, we saw that there are forces that are   striving exactly the opposite, some of them want to use the   possibility of parliamentary elections, the holding of which they  themselves rejected, as a platform for radical actions," the head of  the Armenian government stressed. The Prime Minister noted that the  idea of ??holding early parliamentary elections has not been   completely rejected. Nikol Pashinyan admitted the possibility of  making a decision on early elections in the format of a parliamentary  majority.

He added that the challenges related to security inside Armenia as a  result of such actions may become tougher. But, what is much more  dangerous, external challenges may intensify, the consequences of   which may be unpredictable. Essentially, the prime minister  continued, from the opposition a refusal was received, and the  authorities decided to return to the implementation of the "road map"   published on November 18 last year. In July, the process of  implementing the "road map" will be summarized, and a decision will  be made on further steps. "I can state that the road map is being  successfully implemented. At the moment, about 17 programs have been  implemented quite effectively, programs for about 23 billion drams  have been implemented in Karabakh, "the head of government said,  adding that the overall support package for Artsakh will amount to   about 57 billion drams.
