Last time I spoke about the possible scenario of snap elections. But yesterday, after the question-and-answer session with the government, I became convinced that there is a high probability that the matter will not reach snap elections. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this at a press briefing Thursday.

Pashinyan reiterated that instead, a proposal will be made regarding Armenia’s new constitution that the country’s opposition will not be able to refuse.

“Yesterday, following the results of the question-and-answer session [in parliament] with the government, they gave the opportunity to conduct the process in such a way that strong public pressure will be generated on the opposition, so that they will make it possible—with their vote—to hold a referendum on the new constitution,” Pashinyan said.

At the same time, the Armenian premier noted that he could not guarantee that he will be able to formulate that proposal.

“I cannot say more,” he added.

In his assessment, the question for Armenia’s opposition is whether this is the end of the peace process with Azerbaijan.
