Political analyst Alen Ghevondyan took to Facebook on Monday to weigh in on the possible consequences of the authorities’ decision not to hold snap parliamentary elections in the country.

His comments came after Sunday’s statement of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s My Step bloc that the premier’s call for snap elections later in 2021 has not received support by either the parliamentary opposition or the public at large.

“The agenda for the early elections seems to have been closed because it has failed to receive any guarantees. On the other hand, political actions on the streets will take a new turn if the opposition figures fix what they want, how they are going to achieve it and whether or not they have a firm, uncompromising stance,” he wrote on Facebook.

Ghevondyan attached importance to the fact whether they will withstand the “compromising material” on them and whether the state interests will prevail over the personal interests.

“By the way, during this period someone may be very lucky in the event of a renewed war. Moreover, he personally can provoke it.

"The days are getting warmer. Have you at least followed the techniques used during the [Turkish-Azerbaijani] military exercises in Kars?” Ghevondyan said.

Also, he noted that the decision to cancel the snap elections is not bad for the opposition.
