YEREVAN.- The world's attention is focused on Armenia and Yerevan as if the World Cup finals will be held tomorrow, opposition leader Nikol Pashinyan said during rally in Yerevan.
According to him, the Armenian people managed to make Armenia the most discussed topic in the world within 15 days.

Pashinyan said that there are no other candidates for the PM. "Three of the four factions of the parliament said they would support the 'people's candidate', and the Republican Party of Armenia stated that it will not obstruct. The probability that the candidate nominated by you tomorrow will become prime minister, is high," Pashinyan said.
