Alexanyan invited Pashinyan to the Parvana restaurant to celebrate holding free and fair elections, despite Pashinyan claims the opposite.

Alexanyan said that he invites his opposition colleague to attend an event, devoted to the holding “free, fair and transparent elections, as estimated by the international observers.” He believes that such election results were possible also due to the active work of the opposition and fair competition.
