Ahead of the parliamentary elections scheduled for June 7, Armenia’s opposition field has largely taken shape, according to former Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian. He noted that electoral lists have been published and programs presented, highlighting a shared agenda centered on peace, economic development, poverty reduction, restoration of justice, and national revival and unity.

“Now that the foundation has been laid, it is time to form and strengthen the idea of a ‘collective opposition’ in the public consciousness. This is no longer about individual efforts, but about a common goal. I am convinced that this collective opposition will win the elections.

However, winning alone is not enough. We need to set a higher bar. The goal should not be simply to prevent the return of Pashinyan to power, but also to ensure that his party does not even cross the threshold of entering parliament.

Only then will we be able to close the page of the past eight years and leave that period in history,” Oskanian stated.
