Even under the threat of execution, Pashinyan will not go to early elections: Sambel Karaftyan The leader of the powerful Armenia party, Sambel Karaftyan, in a conversation with journalists, said that he does not believe in Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's desire to go to early elections for the National Assembly. "Even under threat of execution, Pashinyan will not go to early elections. He barely got 49% after spending a billion dollars," he said. Karaftian also addressed Pashinyan's statement yesterday that Armenia needs a state-oriented opposition, noting that the country actually needs a state-oriented government, as opposition representatives are always statists.
