The meeting of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and leader of Prosperous Armenia Party Gagik Tsarukyan at the National Assembly lasted only a few minutes.

After the meeting, Gagik Tsarukyan told reporters the following: “The meeting couldn’t last long. During the meeting, I expressed the position that I have publicly expressed, that is, the Prime Minister needs to resign in order to get the country out of the current situation. This is the only way out. As far as the snap parliamentary elections are concerned, I told him that he can’t be the acting Prime Minister and that we will negotiate after this is accepted. My position remains unchanged. The Prime Minister wanted to meet, and I didn’t decline the invitation,” he said and refused to say what Pashinyan had said in response.
