Acting Prime Minister of Armenia Karen Karapetyan sees the solution in the current situation in all political forces sitting at a negotiations table within the framework of the Constitution, ''Armenpress'' reports.

''I have both fears and a solution. I have proposed for all political forces to sit down and negotiate within the framework of the Constitution and rules and that none of us dictates will to each other. And it is maximally necessary to return to normal course of life, we won’t have anything good from this'', the acting PM said.

Within the framework of political processes, the acting PM suggests snap elections.

According to Karapetyan, it isn’t him that rules out the election of a street-popular candidate of PM, but the law.

''We’ve said that the choice of the people, the vote of confidence of the people is decided through elections. If a certain segment trusts someone, by which indicator are you saying that he is the people’s choice? The only indicator are elections, there is no other indicator. I am suggesting holding snap elections,'' he said.

The acting PM noted that the political force which is in favor of changes has the chance to nominate its candidate in the parliament under the active Constitution. ''Let them nominate and not claim to be the people’s choice when the election hasn’t been made,'' he said.
