Resolution of the Situation is Urgent: President Invites Political Forces to Meeting

The Office of the President of Armenia has issued a statement regarding the internal political situation in Armenia and potential solutions. It states, “The political crisis continues in the country, the situation remains tense, which could have unpredictable and irreversible consequences for our state and statehood.

There are many problems that require urgent and systematic changes, including constitutional and legislative reforms. Both the authorities and parliamentary and extra-parliamentary political forces have repeatedly expressed their positions. However, mutual understanding and willingness to compromise are lacking. Moreover, calls for intolerance have become more frequent.

In the current conditions, my sole aim has been and remains to keep the country free from shocks and to prevent the creation of a situation that could lead to unpredictable consequences. In the interests of the state and the people, the resolution of the situation is no longer a matter that can be postponed; it is an urgent and imperative requirement.

Guided by national interests, I invite the Prime Minister, the leaders of parliamentary factions, and the leaders of the Homeland Salvation Movement to a meeting at the Presidential Residence on March 13 at 12:00 PM to discuss the current situation and to find mutually acceptable solutions aimed at overcoming the crisis.

I reaffirm my conviction that the only way to resolve disputes is through negotiations and dialogue, and that the only path for the development of Armenia and Artsakh is the unification of all our efforts and capabilities.

P.S. The Office of the President expects to receive responses from the invitees regarding their participation in the meeting by 18:00 PM on March 11.
