Pashinyan: Entrepreneurs will not stand for the December elections,  they admitted that they used to do this under pressure from the  authorities

ArmInfo.The Republican Party has put pressure on its deputies so that they do not come to a vote on the draft reform of the Electoral Code. This was in an interview  with journalists, said the. Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan.

At the same time, he assured that he sees no problems if the December  elections are held by the current SG.  "We don't care, it will not  affect the voting results, because those people who ran for the  rating system and brought votes to the RPA will not be nominated for  the December elections. They don't need it, they finally got rid of  such political obligations. I said with businessmen's deputies, and  they confessed that they had previously run against their will,  because they were given the appropriate order by the country's  leadership.  They were forced to run for ballots, spend money on  elections and bring votes to the ruling the parties, "Pashinyan  assured, reiterating that the elections will be fair and fair, and  if, by their results, his power loses, they recognize these results.   Premier made another curious confession. He did not rule out the  possibility of including into the proportional list of the force  headed by him a deputy, ex-Republican Shirak Torosyan. But the  inclusion in the same list of ex-Prosecutor General, the head of the  Commission on State and Legal Affairs Gevorg Kostanyan ruled out. In  general, Pashinyan considered it possible to include in his  proportional list one more two Republicans.  He also said that he  would go to the polls with the "My Step" bloc, which he would head  himself.  Pashinyan also found it difficult to say whether he will  run for the post of prime minister again a week later. "We should  discuss this issue with lawyers and determine whether it is expedient  and in accordance with legal norms," Pashinyan said.
