Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian on Friday expressed readiness to hold fresh parliamentary elections next year and offered to negotiate with Armenia’s leading political groups for that purpose.
“I am not clinging to the post of prime minister, but I also cannot adopt a careless attitude towards power and the post of prime minister entrusted to me by the people,” Pashinian said in a statement posted on Facebook. “The fate of that post and the country’s further political leadership must be decided by the people through a free expression of their will and I … consider myself a guarantor of that free of expression of their will.
President Armen Sarkissian and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan met on Thursday.
Their offices released specific details about the meeting, only that they discussed the current situation in the country and ways to confront the challenges facing the homeland.
The two leaders also discussed the defense and security of Armenia’s border regions, re-establishing a semblance of normalcy in Artsakh and the issues related to the assistance programs undertaken by the government.
It was the first time the leaders were meeting since the Pashinyan signed the November 9 agreement that ended the war but mandated the surrender of historic Armenian territories in both Armenia and Artsakh to Azerbaijan.
