Some were left with the impression that snap elections are on the way: "Hraparak"
During the discussion of the government's five-year program's performance from last year, some members of the ruling Civil Contract party were left with the impression that snap elections are forthcoming. This notion appears to be supported by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan donning a revolutionary suit once again and boasting about returning stolen property "grain by grain," and not losing the former "spirit," along with new promises directed towards this aim.
He is also attempting to preempt and guide the Constitutional Court's decision regarding the "Illegal Property Act," as the high court has entered into a consultative chamber to make a decision on that law these days. This is reported by the "Hraparak" newspaper.
"If only we had a Constitutional Court that somewhat serves the law, then this law would undoubtedly be recognized as unconstitutional. Yesterday in the National Assembly, Pashinyan was more irritable than usual, at one moment declaring that 'There will be no war, there will be peace. There is no basis for war.' Then he stepped out of line, shouting and making erratic movements; at one point, he yelled so loudly that Deputy Speaker Ruben Rubinyan, who was giving a press briefing outside the chamber, jumped, his eyes wide. He then composed himself and continued his remarks.
Pashinyan's behavior in the Civil Contract party has suggested to many that snap elections are imminent, especially since Aliyev refuses to abandon his demand to change the Constitution. There were even speculations that perhaps this fall, they might hold both snap elections and a referendum at once. Currently, the law does not allow for both on the same day, but changing that is not a problem for the ruling party," the newspaper wrote.
