"RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has given a new genius, that is, to organize a powerful rally through his supporters and supporters in Vagharshapat Square, next to the Mother See. What is this, if not a conscious provocation aimed at crowd through the Church? He does not realize that the followers of the Church are much more crowded than his supporters. Of course, he realizes, but his purpose is to defeat that force to perhaps to receive the glory of Nero. Pashinyan's move is extraordinary and dangerous. Especially from another point of view. The main task of any government is to ensure the security of the country's internal stability and the security of the people. Meanwhile, all the steps of the Armenian government are aimed at violating stability and to create confusion in the country.
The only way to resist external threats is to ensure internal stability. If this takes place, the threats due to external factors will be reduced at once, and the conflicting parties will have a chance to start bilateral constructive negotiations. That is why they are required to stop the blurred expressions and threats of each other and, in the interests of the homeland, try to reach an agreement at least in the most painful issues.
The main task of any state is to ensure the country's internal political stability, as it is an anti-Armenian chaos. Shocks are usually provoked by opposition political forces, while the exact opposite is happening in Armenia. Suffering to the syndrome of the majority, Pashinyan usually heats up the situation.
In my opinion, the cancellation of the rally in Vagharshapat will greatly contribute to the elimination of the conflict of opposing forces and the release of political prisoners, first of all, Bagrat and Michael Holiness and Samvel Karapetyan. Today, this is the only way to weaken Armenia's internal political tensions. I am sure that it will not only harm Pashinyan's reputation, but on the contrary, the state widow will be assessed by all Armenians. This, especially, will have a positive impact on negotiations with foreign powers. It is also obvious that the more Armenia's internal political situation is complicated, the weaker our positions in the field of foreign relations. "
