Parliamentary elections in Armenia are slated for April 2, the day when violence broke out in Nagorno-Karabakh. The appointment of the upcoming parliamentary elections on April 2 provoked mass discontent among people not only because Armenians commemorates [on that day] the victims of the four-day April war, but also because many think that the President's decree of December 29 is anti-constitutional. When deciding the day, the country’s authorities were guided by the new Electoral Code which came into force on June 1, 2016, whereas the opponents claim that elections were to be held between April 22 and May 2, at least 20 days after April 2 We offer our visitors to participate in our next poll and say which day the elections should fall in their opinion. Earlier this month, the Armenian National Congress (HAK)  demanded to postpone the date of the parliamentary elections as it coincides with the date of the beginning of the armed conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh
