Yesterday, the Pashinyan "show" of the Gyumri Municipality, which the political field and experts evaluate as another political reprisal, has a number of deep reasons.
In addition to the "traditional" motives, when in all those communities where the opposition won, an attempt was made to "correct" the situation by various means, including law enforcement "instruments", there are also current reasons. In particular, before the upcoming national elections, the election of the council of elders in Vagharshapat is considered the most important political event for the government. According to the information we have, the special services reported to Pashinyan that the CP suffered a shameful defeat in those elections.
Accordingly, at this stage in Gyumri, through such a "mask show", Nikol Pashinyan is first of all trying to instill despair in Vagharshapat, making it clear that no matter who they elect, he will ultimately decide who will be the head of the community. In other words, he directly implies that for him the results of the elections are of zero importance, as in the case of other communities, so there is no need to "put your neck down" and vote for opposition candidates.
This is a kind of psychological pressure to make Argishti Mekhakyan the mayor by some magic. However, according to our information, it is from the genre of fantasy, and in the case of fair and honest elections, the latter has no chance.
Moreover, according to experts, the more Nikol Pashinyan resorts to such measures, the more the public tends to elect him against the opposition forces.
