If they were sure that no one from ‘My Step’ would vote for me, Pashinyan would calmly resign. Marukyan.

The head of the 'Enlightened Armenia' faction in the National Assembly, Edmond Marukyan, responded to the statement of the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly and 'My Step' faction member Lena Nazaryan on Sputnik Armenia, claiming that in her impression, the 'Enlightened Armenia' and 'Prosperous Armenia' factions do not want snap elections because they are confident that they will not be elected as the ruling force in the new elections and will not even receive as many mandates as they currently have.

Marukyan countered: 'Enlightened Armenia is ready for elections, and the 'Enlightened Armenia' party is waiting for the Prime Minister's resignation. Elections in Armenia can take place if the Prime Minister resigns and the parliament is dissolved. As you can see, the first prerequisite is the Prime Minister's resignation. That is, as soon as he resigns, the process of organizing snap elections will begin. If he wants snap elections, then he would have resigned as soon as possible, and snap elections would have been organized. We are ready for those elections and waiting for his resignation so that we can participate in the snap parliamentary elections,'” said Marukyan, as reported by 168.am.
