Political scientist Stepan Danielyan believes that holding snap elections under the current circumstances in Armenia poses great risks for the country. "Armenian media outlets based in the US or Europe should contact the parliamentarians of the ruling force, take interviews and explain them that organizing snap elections in the current situation is a treason. Later, when they decide to flee the country and settle in America, Europe, Russia, they would have no calm life," Danielyan wrote on Facebook.  In the words of the political scientist, most of the ruling force's representatives are set to flee Armenia, however, they will be rejected everywhere. 

"Going to snap elections now could lead the country to chaos, completely fail the protection of the borders and create grounds for a civil war. That is why those gutless people must be held accountable," Danielyan added.

To note, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced on Friday an intention  to hold snap parliamentary elections in 2021 and invited all parliamentary and interested extra-parliamentary forces for consultations.
