There are reports that the current president Vahagn Khachaturyan has serious health problems, according to some, he will not be able to hold office until the deadline, and this is the reason for the ambitions to occupy the coveted and still unvacated position.

It’s a great position for those who love to do nothing, get paid handsomely, and travel all year round. Khachaturyan was elected to the post of president in 2022 for a seven-year term.

According to news reports, Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff Araik Harutyunyan, NA Speaker Alen Simonyan, as well as Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan are claiming his place. Last time there was Araik Harutyunyan’s candidacy, but the team was categorically against him.

Nikol Pashinyan declares that businessmen should adapt to the new markets, the opportunity of which has been provided by the government.

On the one hand, this statement is a manifestation of the economic ignorance and illiteracy of Nikol Pashinyan and his team, and on the other hand, of course, the ability to master information manipulation.

The government has decided to subsidize exports of agricultural and processing industry in new directions. And this is considered as a new market opportunity. In fact, in today’s oversaturated world, where even super players and super producers fight hard for markets, the Armenian exporter cannot simply find a new market or “adapt” to a new market thanks to government subsidies.

In that case, the main task of the government should be not to create problems for the businessmen in the already existing markets, where they have adapted, where they have logistical connections, where more or less stable supply chains are formed, where even in case of problems, there are more or less polished methods and mechanisms for solutions.

For Armenia’s modest size economy, for Armenia’s modest geopolitical role, this should be the government’s top priority: not to do anything that will disrupt the work of Armenian businesses in existing markets. Meanwhile, based on the political and governmental conjuncture, the Armenian government creates serious problems there, and tries to “compensate” them with information-manipulative skills, not with real new markets.

At this moment, they came to arrest me.  Ruben Hakobyan, former member of the National Assembly, wrote about this on his Facebook page.

“The bloodthirsty Armenians continue their atrocities. You two-legged monster, you will answer all the same for beheading Artsakh and thousands of soldiers in order to keep your power, and for wiping your and the enemy’s feet on the dignity of our state. Remember…”, wrote Hakobyan.

The statement of the NDM (National Democratic Union) party.

Elections in Armenia have always been falsified, and the extent of the falsification depended on how far the government was from its desired result.

At least two of the 3 leading opposition forces participated in the national elections both as the government and as the opposition, therefore they were well acquainted with those processes. It seemed that those forces, going to the elections separately, would also organize a common front with a unified ideology, involving multipolar political forces, would create unified bodies to monitor the elections, discuss all possible options and be ready for them (the National Assembly presented its proposal to the opposition forces back in November 2025.

All that did not happen. The opposition treated these elections as ordinary elections. While it was necessary to clearly realize that this was not an ordinary electoral process, these elections had a strategic importance for Armenia.

The large-scale repressions, arrests, and other illegal actions by the authorities against the opposition indicated that the current authorities were far from being able to reproduce through elections (the authorities had a maximum of 35-37% of votes). Nikol Pashinyan’s hasty announcement of their “victory” on election night, when the results of a small part of the ballots were still known, was a clear evidence of this. It was not just a statement, it was a mobilization call to his teammates, as well as an order to the relevant bodies to go to the end and ensure the victory of the government. It was also a statement of taking responsibility for all that.

The leaders of the opposition were obliged to take an adequate step at that time, to start a struggle, but instead they found themselves in confusion. In such a situation, time plays a very important role, and that step could significantly affect the subsequent events. Unfortunately, that time was missed.

Now we think that it is pointless to appeal to the Constitutional Court, because the decision of the CC in this situation is known from the beginning. As a result, a court decision legitimizing these elections will appear, which will cause problems in the future.

These elections showed that most of the population of Armenia does not agree with Nikol Pashinyan’s policy. There are hundreds of thousands of people who are ready to fight for their ideas and goals. It inspires hope and enthusiasm that changes in Armenia are inevitable.

The NDU party, as throughout its activity, will continue to fight for its ideas and the problems that are set before Armenia and the Armenian people, until a government is formed in Armenia, which will take upon itself the implementation of those ideas and problems.

Next to the general national goals and objectives, the priority issues at the moment are:
1. The liberation of the Armenian prisoners held in the prisons of Azerbaijan.
2. The return of Artsakh Armenians to their homeland and security.
3. The prevention of the shameful referendum and constitutional changes dictated from outside.
4. Closing the issues of enclaves and settlement of Azerbaijanis in Armenia.
5. The release of persons arrested for political reasons in Armenia and the establishment of rights and freedom within the state.
6. Making all efforts so that Armenia does not become a theater of confrontation between the West and Russia.
