We officially announce the launch of a coordinated campaign that includes both local and international steps. without these steps, Armenia’s international reputation will collapse, as it is moving towards autocracy (autocracy), the statement said.

According to the party, Pashinyan is systematically destroying the legitimacy of Armenia as a democratic state.

“We will not sit idly by. In the coming days, we will announce our next concrete steps to restore justice. In three months, Samvel Karapetyan will be the next Prime Minister of Armenia,” the announcement reads.
