All available polling data indicate that Nikol Pashinyan has lower approval ratings in Yerevan compared to the regions. The data also show that individuals with higher education levels tend to hold more anti-government views, while older citizens are generally more pro-government. Conversely, younger people are more inclined toward opposition positions.

“These and other data points are well known to all political forces. But is the opposition drawing the necessary conclusions? Is it taking these realities into account? Unfortunately, not sufficiently,” said Armen Khachikyan, head of the “Arar” Foundation, in an interview with the program There Are Questions.

According to him, the opposition remains unprepared for unity. “On the contrary, there are forces that, by entering the elections, will only fragment the vote,” he noted.

Khachikyan emphasized that the opposition’s main opportunity lies in mobilizing the “silent majority.” In his view, the most passive segments today are young people and residents of Yerevan.

“The guarantee of the opposition’s victory is the activation of Yerevan and the youth,” he stated.
