PM Pashinyan says snap parliamentary elections may be held in 2018

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on Tuesday that snap parliamentary elections may be held in 2018.

“We will discuss [the issue]. I think [they will be held] this year,” Pashinyan told reporters, Panorama.am reports.

Asked whether the National Assembly will approve the government’s program, the prime minister gave a positive reply.

“I think yes, [the parliament] will approve, and we will work normally. I think no one should yield to temptation of giving wrong assessment to the political situation,” he said.
