YEREVAN. – Even if the Armenian Revolutionary Federation is left on its own it will fight until the end so that PM Nikol Pashinyan is removed as soon as possible. Ishkhan Saghatelyan, a representative of the Armenia Supreme Body of the opposition Armenian Revolutionary Federation-ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party and coordinator of the Homeland Salvation Movement—which demands the resignation of Pashinyan, stated this during a press briefing Friday on Marshal Baghramyan Avenue—across the parliament building, referring to the fact that snap parliamentary elections will be held in the country on June 20.

"We will not enter that agenda. We, regardless of what position which party of the [aforesaid] movement will have, the Dashnaktsutyun will fight to the end for the agenda that it has announced; that is, even if we are left on our own, we will continue our struggle to the full extent that Nikol Pashinyan was removed as soon as possible. We have never been against the snap elections; but we find that he [Pashinyan] should not organize those elections. If, after so much struggle, snap parliamentary elections take place regardless of our will, then the Dashnaktsutyun will discuss the format, the agenda of its participation, or whether or not it will participate [in these elections]," Saghatelyan said.

He added that the Homeland Salvation Movement will continue to function. "I see an opportunity that the Homeland Salvation Movement can fully function because we have a shared consensus to remove these authorities [from power]," Ishkhan Saghatelyan explained.
