On Sunday, Serzh Sargsyan interrupted the talks with opposition leader Nikol Pashinyan, held in the Yerevan hotel "Marriott Armenia". The goal of the talks was the relaxation of tension in Armenia after the elections.

"The political force, which received 7-8% in the elections, has no right to speak on behalf of the people. What you are proposing is blackmail. You can not blackmail the state, "Sargsyan said and left the hotel, in front of which his opponents gathered, chanting slogans calling for resignation.

Pashinyan said before the meeting that the topic of the talks could be only "the resignation of the prime minister and a peaceful transition of power".
