“Hraparak” daily writes:

The concluding rally of the “Strong Armenia” party led by Samvel Karapetyan caused a great agitation in the CP. Although according to the calculations of close-to-government circles, there were about 20,000 people in Republic Square, however, according to some information, the National Security Service reported more than 40,000 to Nikol Pashinyan.

The authorities understood that, despite the atmosphere of fear they created for months and the facts of firing those participating in the opposition rallies, it was not possible to break the will of the people. And if so many people participate in the rally of one opposition force after all this, then one can imagine what the result of the street struggle organized by the united opposition could be.

This is the reason for the anxious reaction of the authorities and their fakes and the fact that in the middle of the night Pashinyan ordered the security forces to conduct searches in the houses of the opposition without the lights on.

Yesterday, in the morning, it became known that more than 50 oppositionists were searched. More than 20 people were arrested. Some consider this a sign of agony, 2 days before the vote.

Addressing Nikol Pashinyan’s “thought” that Russia was against the settlement of Artsakh, was an obstacle, etc., Narek Karapetyan stated during the debate that the USA and France should know that one day they will become “guilty” for Pashinyan, because this is the Armenian Prime Minister’s knowledge of diplomacy.

I think Karapetyan misses a bit. The USA, for example, has already been declared “guilty”. After August 8, Nikol Pashinyan complained about the US democratic administration. Ararat Mirzoyan from the administration with whose secretary of state, in the last days of his tenure, signed a charter of strategic partnership commissions.

After August 8, Pashinyan announced that “it is not that we were satisfied with the approaches of the democratic administration”. Thus, at least in terms of democratic administration, he has already essentially declared the US guilty. Of course, there is no doubt that after the defeat of the Republicans, Nikol Pashinyan will pass the baton of “guilt” to them, if, of course, the Armenian public does not register Nikol Pashinyan’s defeat by voting in the parliamentary elections.

A map of the polling stations of the Republic of Armenia was prepared in Azerbaijan, but not as a sovereign state, but as part of the artificial “Western Azerbaijan” plan.

And the group leading the sovereign Armenia, instead of resisting Aliyev and protecting us from the enemy, is taking hold of the national forces again in the morning.

On June 7, there is a unique opportunity to change this situation.
All you have to do is go to the selection.

Go to the polling station so that we don’t have this map for the next elections.

The current correction in Bitcoin and the broader crypto market is the result of a combination of factors, from deteriorating short-term investor sentiment to widespread capital rotation in global financial markets. Bitcoin has lost more than 14% in the last week, and has lost more than 22% in the last four weeks. Today, June 4, the price of the leading cryptocurrency briefly fell to $61,351, accompanied by one of the biggest liquidations in recent months. Foreclosure volume exceeded $1.6 billion, of which approximately $1.4 billion was long.

Institutional factors remain the main drivers of pressure. Since mid-May, US spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced a steady outflow of capital. Net outflows totaled nearly $400 million on June 3 alone, and in total, more than $3.4 billion has been withdrawn from the funds in recent weeks. Since ETFs have been one of the main drivers of market growth in recent years, a temporary weakening of demand from institutional investors naturally puts pressure on the price.

Rising global uncertainty remains an additional factor. Investors continue to assess the continued impact of international tensions and the lack of signs of an imminent resolution to a number of conflicts, including the situation in the Middle East. In such conditions, market participants traditionally reduce the share of risky assets in their portfolios and increase the positions of defensive instruments, which puts pressure not only on cryptocurrencies, but also on other segments of the global capital market.

However, it is important to look at the bigger picture. Despite the current leaks, the structural demand for Bitcoin remains unprecedented. According to market data, ETFs have accumulated more than 509,000 BTC since March 2024, while Strategy has acquired about 651,000 BTC during the same period. In total, this represents a net demand of over 1.24 million BTC. In comparison, all Bitcoin exchange reserves are currently valued at around 2.7 million BTC, while the volume of coins owned by Satoshi Nakamoto is around 1 million BTC. In other words, in recent years, the market has absorbed a volume of Bitcoin that exceeds the estimated assets of the network creator and accounts for almost half of all exchange reserves, which highlights the scale of institutional interest in the asset.

Against this backdrop, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Yong-ju’s thesis that the market is undergoing a massive shift in Bitcoin ownership is particularly significant. Despite massive buying by ETFs and corporate investors, the price has returned to March 2024 levels. This may indicate not so much weakness in the asset as a major redistribution of supply among different groups of market participants, from early adopters to new institutional investors.

Global competition for capital puts pressure. According to Binance Research, the majority of investment flows are currently directed towards artificial intelligence, semiconductor manufacturers, defense companies and the energy sector. The CBOE dispersion index recently hit 42, one of its highest levels ever recorded, and is a signal that capital is concentrating on a limited number of popular investment themes. Under these conditions, Bitcoin and other digital assets temporarily lose some liquidity in favor of other segments of the market.

This is why we view the current correction as largely a result of macroeconomic factors and capital flows, rather than a crisis within the crypto industry. Unlike previous cycles, the market is not facing systemic infrastructure issues, bankruptcies of major players, or regulatory upheavals that could undermine confidence in the industry. On the contrary, the fundamentals of the sector continue to improve. institutional participation is increasing, use cases for digital assets are expanding, and the integration of cryptocurrencies with the traditional financial system is becoming ever deeper.

The speech of Aghvan Vardanyan, a member of the “Hayastan” bloc, in 2026. before the June 7 elections.

We are on the border. On one side is our spiritual-cultural-military-business heritage, on the other side is the unpatriotic emptiness of arrogant, talkative, populist schismatics.

On one side are Mashtots, Narekatsi, Tumanyan, Komitas, Charents, Saryan, Matevosyan. he said: the real Armenian people, on the other side – the liars, cowards, gluttons, treacherous, dirty, hateful, misanthropic Nikol and his small group of nothingness.

On one side is national humiliation, on the other side is pride in our identity, striving for new victories.
On one side are Ararat and Etchmiadzin, on the other side is Nikol’s seat and the government summer house.

On one side is the Northern Avenue built during Kocharyan’s reign, the restored disaster zone, cultural centers, Davitashen, Ashtarak bridges, new roads, “Tumo” center, 100 thousand jobs, new productions, on the other side – the asphalt that melts with the snow and nothing permanent.
On one side, there is hysterical whining, on the other side, heavy speech and attitude.

On one side, those who made Armenia one of the three most angry countries in the world, those who embody hatred, on the other side, those who bring love and solidarity.

On one side, there is strength, will, work, state thinking, a strong, prosperous Armenia, the determination to become an influential Armenian factor in the world, on the other side, the weakness, gluttony, and irresponsible-inhuman existence of those who have made it a habit to have fun during the time of the plague.

The border is drawn. either, or.

We are coming to end their rule. We are coming to restore the dignity of Armenians. We are coming to impose respect for ourselves and our country. We are coming to rediscover ourselves, to awaken the strength of a strong, fair, united Armenian, we are coming so that this anti-Armenian misunderstanding, the failure of Armenians will never raise its head again.

We come with strength, mind, spirit, cross.

The condition is thrown, there is no other option. We will remove them and bring pride to our people with brave, experienced, patriotic people, we will close this tragic phase of our history.

June 7th is the day of Saint Etchmiadzin. I am sure that on that very day, our people will open a new page by their choice, a new beginning, and together we will go along the difficult but unshakable path of having the country of our dreams, strengthening the Republic of Armenia, and re-creating an Armenian man with his head held high in the world.

I tell you the truth. I say, and it will happen.

In these parliamentary elections, one and a half million votes are needed, as well as one and a half million candles in memory of the martyrs of the Armenian Genocide.

One and a half million votes, as a memory and as a message of Armenia’s revival to the whole world.

Around this idea, we marched in unity with thousands of citizens to Freedom Square, reaffirming that our country does not need enmity and division, but internal solidarity, tolerance and national unity.

Go to the polls on June 7 so that Armenia remains sovereign and Armenian.

Wait for good changes.
