Politician: Pashinyan`s resignation should presuppose the solution of  problems, and not be an end in itself

ArmInfo.Our political force is preparing to take an independent part in the early parliamentary elections scheduled for June 20 in the country. Such  opinion was  expressed by the chairman of the Republic party, former Prime  Minister of Armenia Aram Sargsyan.

"At the same time, we do not exclude that in the case of our passage  to the parliament after the completion of its formation, we will go  to the creation of a ruling coalition with other elected and past  political forces," he stressed.

Commenting on the recent domestic political events in the republic,  the politician highlighted the recent meeting of the former  Presidents of Armenia and Artsakh. Sargsyan did not rule out that the  main motivator of the meeting was the need to discuss the urgent and  emerging foreign and domestic political problems related to the  country as a whole and statehood in particular.

In this light, the politician emphasized the need for the  ex-presidents to no longer limit themselves to voicing the demands  for the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan following the  results of this meeting. Demands, according to him, devoid of logical  continuation. "I would very much like these demands to be accompanied  by a justification - a clear vision of how Pashinyan's departure can  contribute to solving certain problems of the country," he stressed.

In this context, Sargsyan highlighted the issue of Armenia's  implementation or rejection of the November 9 trilateral statement.   In his opinion, Pashinyan's resignation should be considered from  this point of view, simultaneously analyzing possible options for the  development of the situation in both cases. In this light, the  politician stressed that the statement of November 9 in fact does not  work, which may well lead to the resumption of hostilities.

"Thus, Pashinyan's resignation should not be an end in itself. First,  it is necessary to calculate what his departure can give our country  in the current realities. For example, I recently met with the Prime  Minister and made some proposals to him. The prevention of a new war  involves the exclusion of a dry, direct refusal to certain proposals  within the framework of the documents of November 9 and January 11.   And I think that Armenia can fully implement the proposals to unblock  the region. For example, by demanding the resumption of cargo  transportation and the operation of the railway as the first step in  the implementation of this process," Sargsyan concluded.
