the outcome of that more in which our media lost huge swathes of territory surrounding the nagorno-karabakh and play . and therefore missed the passion yet in fact he said himself that everybody has has weighed in on. those days and has had an opinion said to say about it with the exception of the armenian electorate and so this is their opportunity to have their say almost like a referendum. since on him really since those cuts as he described the catastrophic events of the of the war but last year what's also worth pointing out however is that the opposition never really wanted to have a the elections because i think they understood that even though nicoll question yet it's popular they may be even less popular than he is because the opposition is made up of the former government that he. ruled out in a popular revolution back in 2018 so it was never their hope so i mean the elections they wanted a caretaker administration he now i think has his sights set on june 20th as a referendum in which he believes he's going to be able to whip the gulf of guinea is one of the most dangerous mariti

the last against as a by john last year lost swathes of territory around and within nagorno-karabakh and the opposition here the opposition political parties have been campaigning pretty much every day calling on him to resign but one thing they didn't want was a snap election because probably they also understood that the nickel press union is unpopular they themselves have struggled to gain traction with the armenian public many of them coming from the particularly unpopular previous governments the nickel brought down back in 2080 so i think he and many people see this election as an opportunity a kind of a referendum to really finally truly decide whether the media people hold him responsible for the conflicts or whether this is something that they know. this was something that he he couldn't have avoided. many thanks for that robin for some work of that for us and to base a. rebels in northern china and say they're ready to observe a cease fire and discuss a political settlement a front for a change and concord rebels cross from libya on april 11th calling for an end to presiden
