Nikol Pashinyan is clearly speeding up the opposition.
Nikol Pashinyan does not stop his harsh and aggressive rhetoric towards the leading forces of the opposition even after the election. This raises the question, was that rhetoric not just part of pre-election campaign logic, does Pashinyan really intend to go “to the end” this time?
In practice, Nikol Pashinyan himself is worried about the end and is trying to speed up the opposition. His steps are aimed at pushing the opposition to action, keeping the influence of the emotional field active. Nikol Pashinyan perfectly understands that time is not in his favor, and even more so after the election, when you don’t have an absolute victory, but you also had to declare an absolute victory.
In that case, he is looking for a chance for himself in the quick steps and decisions of the opposition. It is also with these circumstances in mind that immediately after the election voting, I spoke about the fact that everything is just beginning in terms of political confrontation and the main characteristic required from the opposition is strategic patience and the development of decisions based on it.
