The government's rating is quite low, and this, of course, worries Nikol Pashinyan a lot. The power has a problem of reproduction, and in many cases, maintaining the power for them is, in their view, more of an ontological problem than a political one.
Vigen Hakobyan, a political technologist, expresses a similar opinion, adding that Nikol Pashinyan and his CP have been in pre-election mood since the beginning of 2024. And what is he doing? According to Hakobyan, the opposition is in different moods. "Unlike the "Armenia" bloc, newly formed forces such as Samvel Karapetyan's "Our way" movement, Arman Tatoyan's "Wings of Unity" initiative, which have the ambition to become a political force and have announced that they will participate in the upcoming elections, the RPA, for example, says that it still has no decision on this matter, and their main agenda is the implementation of the impeachment process.
Gagik Tsarukyan also announced his participation, he also takes the initiative. Some forces and figures have already announced their decision to participate in the elections and have entered an active phase. The "Armenia" alliance mainly works in the field of propaganda, I think they also do some structural work related to the structures. "Our way" movement is quite active in marzes as well.
They make program speeches, mainly on social, public, economic topics, in which they are understandable. In the person of Samvel Karapetyan, our society sees a figure who is successful, able to solve issues, has great resources, sometimes even comparable to the resources of the state, in particular, financial.
They are quite active and form their social support and base for future political power. Tatoyan's initiative is still in the process of forming a political force. I think that the formed forces that have decided to participate in the elections are busy with preparations for the pre-election campaign," our interlocutor points out and also adds that the possibility of early elections is still not ruled out if the government feels that it is more beneficial to them and that it can surprise the opposition.
