"The 50,000 signatures needed for the petition to hold a referendum on EU membership have been collected. And what will be the next step, what are the extra-parliamentary forces that initiated the signature collection going to do? In a conversation with the Zhoghovurd daily, the chairman of the "European" Party of Armenia, Tigran Khzmalyan, said that they will hand over the papers to the Central Election Commission next week, when the Central Election Commission approves the results. , the extra-parliamentary forces will hand over the initiative to the parliament. According to Tigran Khzmalyan, the results of the signature collection will be submitted to the National Assembly at the beginning of November. "Zhoghovurd" daily reported earlier. Nikol Pashinyan has absolutely no intention of holding a referendum on this issue, he clearly stated during a closed meeting with his teammates that there will be no referendum. he does not see the need to hold a referendum, because he "knows the opinion of the people". Judging by these statements of Nikol Pashinyan, we can record that this initiative will be rejected in the parliament. According to the procedure, if the National Assembly rejects this initiative of extra-parliamentary forces with 50,000 signatures, then they can collect 300,000 signatures and apply to the National Assembly again with the same agenda." And now we see that the planned signatures have been collected. Let's follow what developments will happen."
