Such formulation, especially when it is made by Nikol Pashinyan, sounds very ominous.
There is an impression that it was a very transparent hint that even more difficult times are coming, and the people will have to "tighten their belts". In short, "you won't live well", in this case, dear Poghos.
There is no other way to interpret that display of additional perforation on the belt, much less the "title". Harkav, as a result of the failed administration of Pashinyan and his Communist Party, the population of Armenia (excluding the Kapakans and their close relatives and friends) has been in a state of "tightening their belts" for several years now. Moreover, the rise in prices of basic food items does not stop.
Not to mention the national debt of the country, which has doubled only during Pashinyan's rule and is fast approaching the 14 billion dollar limit. On the other hand, Pashinyan does not think much of "tightening the belt" of his rule on the throttle of civil liberties, freedom of speech, human rights and democracy in general, one more thing, he wants to "tighten the belt" on the backs of the people. Yes, and it is not only about livelihood, standard of living, just living. As we understand, we will "tighten our belts" in every respect, if 2026 miraculously repeats itself in 2021...
"Past" daily writes: The other day, in order to show that he is the "previous Nikol", an ordinary, simple, ordinary person, "one of us", Nikol Pashinyan allegedly accidentally entered a workshop and asked the craftsman to open a couple of additional holes on the belt of his trousers. I would like to say that he has lost weight. They noticed from the side that it would be from a bicycle.
In short, a heartbreaking and touching scene. But in all of this, one moment was missed by many, or at least not paid much attention to. It is about the fact that he titled that "belting" of his. "Time to tighten the belt."
