YEREVAN (Sputnik) - Vice President of the Armenian National Assembly Eduard Sharmazanov said on Wednesday following meeting the country's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian that two parties have not managed to come to a final agreement concerning the parliament's dissolution and holding of an early election in the country.

On Tuesday, the Armenian parliament passed a bill allowing to block the dissolution of the parliament and holding early elections in case an emergency parliamentary session is postponed. Pashinyan has strongly opposed the adoption of this legislative initiative, insisting that early election should be held in the country in December.

"Globally, no specific agreements have been reached. We have come to only one agreement — to continue negotiations," Sharmazanov said in an interview with Armenia's Zhoghovurd newspaper.
