Pashinyan accused the parliamentary majority and their supporters of  sabotage

ArmInfo. And about. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan assessed the failure of the  National Assembly of the process on amending the Electoral Code of  the country.

Thus, Pashinyan assured Facebook on the air that the proposed  amendments to the EC were aimed at making it more democratic and  understandable, and facilitate the voting process for citizens. "This  vote has once again demonstrated the inevitability of early  parliamentary elections and the fact that without parliamentary  elections we cannot take a single step. This vote showed a real  balance of things, namely that the parliamentary majority and their  supporters are doing everything to implement the sabotage policy ", -  considers. heads of government.

According to him, over the past 20 days, this has been demonstrated  several times. Pashinyan is convinced that in this way the  parliamentary majority is hoping for the early elections to make its  revenge tool. "In fact, even if the extraordinary parliamentary  elections will be held according to the current IK, this will not  change anything, as the victory of the people is inevitable, and no  one can take away the victory of the people. There will be no return  to the past," he said. The prime minister, in this context, urged the  citizens of the country to really prepare for the upcoming  extraordinary elections, and bring the revolution to its logical  conclusion.

According to him, regardless of which Election Code will hold  elections, there will be no revenge, and no return to the past  either. "Armenia will continue to fight against corruption,  lawlessness in the name of a new national unity. The revolution will  continue, in December there will be early parliamentary elections,  where people will inevitably win. And today's voting has once again  demonstrated that this government has an atmosphere of sabotage,  which they are now trying to bring to the end. However, this will not  happen, because the revolution that has been launched will be brought  to the end, "concluded Pashinyan.

Note that today at an extraordinary meeting of the Parliament by 56  votes "for" and 3 against. The draft law on making changes and  amendments to the Electoral Code of Armenia was rejected. Meanwhile,  this document, as a constitutional law, was to be adopted by 3/5 of  the votes of deputies. Even the fact that the head of the Yelk  faction Lena Nazaryan, right before the vote, asked for a 20 minute  break, did not save the situation, so that the absent deputies could  arrive and take part in the voting. According to the law, the bill  will be returned to the government for revision.
