Armenian protest leader Nikol Pashinyan says the opposition will probably boycott any snap parliamentary election unless parliament makes him the interim prime minister next week.
Parliament is due to choose a new interim premier next week and Pashinyan has said he is the only legitimate choice for the job even though he is not a member of the ruling party which has a majority of seats in parliament.
Armenian politicians have spoken of holding a snap parliamentary election once a new interim premier is in place.
A close Russian ally, Armenia is in the middle of a political crisis after two weeks of anti-government protests that led to the resignation of Serzh Sarksyan as prime minister on Monday.
Pashinyan, at a news conference on Friday, also called for a two-day moratorium on protests in the capital Yerevan, but insisted that demonstrations take place in other cities during that time.
