    'SO THAT CRITICAL MASS REMAINS HERE AND REVOLUTION HAPPENS?' ARMENIA PM ON EMIGRATION

    RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan spoke on the likelihood of early
    elections in response to the question "What's the difference between
    pre-term and regular elections?" by local daily 168 Zham ("168 Hours").

    To the journalist's comment that the opposition's demand is to
    establish a lawful government through elections as soon as possible,
    "which would solve the problems faced by the people and the country,"
    the prime minister said, "I myself, being opposition, pushed through
    this proposition in 1991. In the last 20 years, it has never lost its
    relevance. Any opposition, naturally, tries to use this proposition,
    but the problem is that in Armenia today, such a critical mass, which
    demands early elections, objectively doesn't exist. Particularly
    since there isn't that much time left till elections."

    On the matter of the increasing volume of emigrants from Armenia,
    Tigran Sargsyan said: "What can we do, we should do everything so
    these people won't flee, so that critical mass remains here and a
    revolution happens? What can we do for people to stay in Armenia? We
    have to do it so that life in our country is better than [life]
    abroad. But if you begin to improve life in Armenia, the critical
    mass doesn't reduce. The mass that supports the authorities increases.

    Trust me, no government has such a wish, for it to work so that its
    reputation will be lower than the opposition's."
