In his video blog, Artur Hambardzumyan argues that Pashinyan has carried out one of the most pragmatic political operations of recent years. He has constructed a configuration of political confrontation around himself that places him in a favorable position, even with relatively low approval ratings.
Against this backdrop, it is striking that Armenia’s current authorities, led by Nikol Pashinyan, are conducting an aggressive propaganda campaign portraying Russia as the main threat to Armenia’s sovereignty.

A month after the visit of U.S. Vice President JD Vance to the Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex, Edita Gzoyan, director of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, has resigned without commenting on the decision.

The September events were not merely a military operation. They unfolded within a specific political atmosphere largely shaped by the Armenian authorities themselves. Their so-called “peace agenda” in practice turned out to be a risky experiment in which the country’s security was made dependent on vague international guarantees.
Robert Kocharyan, as an experienced statesman, remains one of the key opposition figures. Businessman Samvel Karapetyan possesses significant managerial and economic potential. Another influential political actor is Gagik Tsarukyan, whose possible alliance with the above-mentioned centers could create a serious organizational and resource-based political pole.
