ArmInfo. The extremely inappropriate, hysterical behavior of Pashinyan and his allies in recent days is due to the growing number of people willing to participate in the elections. Political scientist and former member of the Armenian Parliament, Arman Abovyan, expressed this opinion on his Facebook page.
According to him, the reasons for the hysteria of government officials, who are deliberately generating tension and conflict, are obvious and stem from several fundamental factors. Firstly, as the political scientist writes, we know that the authorities are constantly receiving data from closed opinion polls, which clearly show that they are failing to reverse pro-Armenian public sentiment. People are simply rejecting the Turkish-Azerbaijani "peace" concept promoted by Pashinyan.
In essence, people understand that the promised "peace" concerns not Armenia, but exclusively "Western Azerbaijan."
Secondly, the number of people willing to participate in the elections has increased sharply, which, in turn, practically eliminates the authorities' chances of ensuring a significant presence for the "Civil Contract" in the future parliament.
Given the above-mentioned circumstances, Pashinyan and his allies, according to Abovyan, have decided to dramatically escalate the situation by turning the election process into a field of vulgarity, lies, and insults. In other words, they are turning the election process into a stupid, hooligan-like, senseless, and "hilarious" spectacle, simultaneously "cementing" their electorate and disgusting normal but politically inert people with the election process itself.
At the same time, another absurd thesis is being actively disseminated: that "everything has already been decided" and they will restore their power anyway. However, the analyst believes that current events show that Pashinyan and his team are failing to achieve this, as we are witnessing a completely opposite public reaction.
Furthermore, people who initially had no intention of participating in the elections are, in response to this hysterical behavior on the part of the authorities, deciding to go and, with their vote, put an end to this "stressful, idiotic atmosphere" in which Armenian society has existed for almost eight years.
Therefore, all those still debating whether to vote must draw their own conclusions, unless, of course, they want to live in "Western Azerbaijan," Abovyan emphasized.
