Speaker of the Armenian parliament Hovik Abrahamyan said any preterm election – both parliamentary and presidential – has negative impact on a country’s image.

Commenting on the possibility of early election in Armenia, Abrahamyan told journalists: “Only one year is left until the ordinary parliamentary election in Armenia. And I urge all the political forces, specifically the opposition, to get prepared for it.”

The Armenian radical opposition - Armenian National Congress – assures that the dialogue with the authorities is aimed at organization of preterm parliamentary and presidential elections.
