Leader of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) Vigen Sargsyan is pushing for a head-to-head TV debate with acting Prime Minister, head of My Step alliance Nikol Pashinyan ahead of the December 9 parliamentary elections in the country.
Sargsyan said in a Facebook post that he remains committed to his earlier pledge to engage in a TV debate with all the leaders of parties and alliances running for seats in the National Assembly.
However, he added, a separate bilateral debate in RPA – My Step format is “necessary”.
Citing Pashinyan’s “dense schedule”, Sargsyan said he leaves the choice of the day for a possible debate to the discretion of the acting PM.

The festival of prominent Armenian Director Vigen Chaldranyan’s film series entitled “Silence” will be screened at Glendale MGN Cinema House from February 20-24.
