The “Fact” daily writes:
It is noticeable to the naked eye that Nikol Pashinyan is in a state of flux. And this is evident, first of all, from his own public demonstrative behavior and social media hyperactivity. It probably seems to him that he “does little” in the news.
And, perhaps, he strives for 24/7 activity. It is also obvious that Nikol Pashinyan does not want to leave this “black work” to any of his close friends and teammates, or rather, he does not trust them and, as they say, does everything himself. from omelets to ostentatiously getting on (and off) a bus. But on the other hand, all that doesn't really help him.
He has already managed to bore many people for almost 7 years with his constant social media activity and "inedible" statements, controversial and unacceptable expressions, and cheap shows. It is noteworthy, for example, that Nikol Pashinyan went to the US for a whole week at the expense of state funds, although in official reports it was mentioned as a working visit. He was supposedly working, again.
And what was that work? In practice, Pashinyan had several meetings that meant nothing, met with about four dozen people gathered as the "Armenian community", unsuccessfully trying to "be cool" with his earlier statements questioning the Genocide, participated in some religious conference, which did not include any state leaders, and that's it.
Oh, and he also attended a dinner where even the tables were set He was not sitting around, but, so to speak, "on the side", as an observer. And the phone photo taken "on foot" with the US Vice President can be bypassed. It was, apparently, exclusively to get an image that would affect the gullible (and that is debatable). In the end, Pashinyan returned to Armenia, opened some envelopes and... went to buy a digital bus ticket, which, by the way, also failed, at least by his own admission.
But, as they say, one minute. At the expense of state funds, the country's No. 1 salaried employee left for the United States for 7 days. As they say, "on a working visit." What work did he do? Was there nothing to say to that extent that he did not say anything, did not summarize the results of his visit, if there were any. In fact, there really was nothing to say. Now he has left for France for a summit on artificial intelligence issues. In the meantime, a meeting with Emmanuel Macron is scheduled. Another characteristic moment is that, having not yet returned from the United States, Pashinyan had several social media activations, all of which were related to public transport.
First, he announced that he could not buy a bus ticket through a digital platform because he does not have the appropriate digital skills. This is surprising, because Nikol Pashinyan, as is known, positions himself as an omniscient person, he always pretends that he understands everything, from tax issues to space travel, from automotive engineering to the organization of science. And then, oh, surprise, he doesn't have "digital skills"?
In this regard, the strangest and most ridiculous thing is his conclusion that one must acquire “digital skills” in order to be able to… buy a bus ticket. Pashinyan’s “discovery” was not appreciated by Facebook users at all, and there were quite a few elaborate comments under his post. In particular, people quite rightly remarked on what kind of complicated system it is that requires you know-what digital skills for something as primitive as buying a bus ticket. Or why should a 40, 50, or 60-year-old person have any “digital skills” that just buy a bus ticket? But, as they say, let’s not deviate from the main issue, otherwise we will delve into a topic of interest to many, namely the “Copperfield” phenomenon related to the numbers of the buses that transported Pashinyan. That is not the main thing, however. The main thing is that that the rating decline of Nikol Pashinyan and the government led by him continues.
Although this is not even a decline, but a real collapse. Well, they are approaching their characteristic famous 7 percent. Moreover, the country, society, with almost all its layers, are immersed in serious problems: foreign-political, security, legal, social, economic.
Formally, there is a government, there is a government, but in practice the head of that government is busy exclusively "showing" himself to the cameras, nothing else. No real problem is being solved or addressed. This is in the case when the cause of most of these problems is the government led by Pashinyan.
Yes, Nikol Pashinyan is literally jumping out of his skin, rushing from the ship to the “ballroom”, from the “ballroom” to the ship. Nikol Pashinyan is beating himself up, but only to somehow keep his sinking reputation afloat. He is making persistent efforts, but only... to keep himself as a government. And what will happen or what is happening to Armenia, Pashinyan is no longer interested in it and, speaking between us, he was not particularly interested in it before (“either I will be the prime minister, or Armenia will not have a prime minister”).
By and large, we think that the assessments that Pashinyan has found himself in a state of both external and internal isolation, of being unnecessary to anyone (except Baku and Ankara), are justified. In such conditions, it is essential whether the truly opposition national forces will be able to unite as quickly as possible and realize the discontent that is taking on a national character in order to get Armenia out of this bitter process.ARMEN HAKOBYAN
