Needless to say, it is a difficult situation for the opposition forces that did not secure a victory in the elections, but entered the parliament.
Public expectations and reactions in the electoral process are understandable. people’s great disappointment is also understandable.
Especially in this critical situation, political forces and leaders must be guided by cool judgment and a clear sequence of steps.
The question of whether or not to take a mandate should not be determined by internal disappointment or different interpretations, but by clearly recording the actions and steps and setting priorities.
Tigran Abrahamyan, secretary of the “I have an honor” faction of the National Assembly
