Today, the army risks turning into a “toothless dragon.” The reduction of the mandatory service term, budget cuts, and largely formal reforms are shaping a force incapable of containing external threats.
Вардан Гукасян (ДОГ) в своём видеоблоге выразил сомнение в том, что Никол Пашинян мог самостоятельно, пешим походом из Гюмри в Ереван, осуществить так называемую «бархатную революцию» и захватить власть.
The 2026 report of Armenia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (FIS) is not an analysis of the foreign policy environment. Rather, it reflects the systematic dismantling of the national security system carried out by the current authorities.
In the modern history of Armenia, there has been no event comparable in scale and symbolic significance to the ongoing conflict between the secular authorities and the Armenian Apostolic Church. Insulting epithets, public accusations, and direct demands for the resignation of the Catholicos of All Armenians — voiced by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and members of his family — have been addressed to the country’s highest spiritual leadership.
На протяжении последних четырёх месяцев людей, остававшихся в Арцахе, удерживали в колониальных условиях в комплексе «Дгяк». Как сообщает телеграм-канал «Анив», об этом пишет арцахский общественный деятель Тигран Петросян.
Despite Mikael Minasyan’s efforts to reframe his actions as mere “mistakes of a human being,” reality tells a different story. He was neither an observer nor an accidental participant in political developments. On the contrary, his role was systemic and decisive - from controlling media resources and financing key platforms to participating in the formation of the team that later carried out the “velvet revolution.”
The reproduction of Nikol Pashinyan’s power constitutes a direct threat to the national security, territorial integrity, and historical future of the Republic of Armenia. The preservation of the current political model does not lead to stabilization or peace; rather, it leads to a postponed crisis with potentially irreversible consequences.
The reality is clear and unforgiving: the incumbent authorities do not enjoy the support of the majority of the population. If more than 50 percent of eligible voters participate in the elections, the re-election of Nikol Pashinyan becomes highly unlikely. His continued hold on power rests largely on public despair, fear, and low voter turnout.
The idea of a new political platform, “Against All,” has been widely discussed in Armenia in recent months. It is presented as a way to mobilize voters who usually remain outside the electoral process: disappointed, apathetic citizens who have lost confidence in both the authorities and the traditional opposition. This raises the question of whether the declared goals correspond to reality, or whether this is merely another political tactic aimed at dispersing opposition votes.
Мелконян поставил под сомнение и тезис о том, что «Армения никогда не была столь суверенной»:
“If Armenia is truly so sovereign, why do leaders of foreign states constantly comment on Armenia’s borders, elections, and Constitution?” he asked.
