Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan follows up the political consultations with the leaders of political forces. Nikol Pashinyan today met with Christian-Democratic Party leader Levon Shirinyan.

Nikol Pashinian: Dear Mr. Shirinyan, I am happy to see you, thank you for accepting my invitation. I followed your election campaign as best I could, not in full of course, but I had very good impressions. I am sorry that your bloc did not make it into parliamen, but the peculiarity of elections is that they are always unpredictable, if, of course, they are democratic and free elections.

Today I would like to hear your opinion on the future course of political life in Armenia. I would also like to know what you think about the possible platforms for fostering relationships between extra-parliamentary forces and the government as a whole, so that we could better listen to each other.

Levon Shirinyan: The offensive was checked after all. To my mind, this is crucial, and I think we played a key role in that respect. I can say that our bloc worked with exceptional efficiency.

The continuation of the revolution, the stability of the state and the strengthening of independence were extremely important for us. We see no problem here, and we will back your government.

The interlocutors discussed the consolidation of capacities and opportunities, as well as the prospects for further cooperation.
