Pashinyan's show in the area of Hovhannavank was evaluated by many as a kind of sectarian ritual, another part of plans to destroy the Armenian Apostolic Church, blasphemy, etc., etc. And in fact, apart from all that, it was more like a political rally. Moreover, an obviously failed rally. In fact, Pashinyan himself not only understood, but also involuntarily admitted that they failed. Otherwise, not a single one would have announced about holding a new "liturgical" rally in the same place on the coming Sunday. Maybe it wants to do a "bug fix". As the famous advertising slogan that became a meme went, "try again."
And the gathering organized by Pashinyan's call on October 26 in Hovhannavank was really a failure in the sense that barely a few hundred people were there.
And it is clearly reflected even in the published photos, especially in the photos taken from a bird's-eye view, as the authorities and satellites like to do during opposition rallies. Although, "ground level" photos and views are not in favor of Pashinyan and his anti-church campaign. Everything is very simple. everyone saw that even after several days of aggressive campaigning and abusing all the administrative resources of the state, only a handful of various big and small officials or persons financially dependent on them, plainclothes policemen and other security forces, state security service employees, and representatives of some "religious organizations" (non-apostolic) came to Hovhannavank. Plus there were clearly a huge number of uniformed police. All these together made up the several hundred people who supported Pashinyan's rally.
Moreover, an impression was created that not all "patched" and not "patched" caps, to put it mildly, support Pashinyan in the war against the Armenian Apostolic Church. Moreover, we have information that there are quite a few such hoodlums who are on Pashinyan's side in every issue, but have serious reservations, even fear, regarding the issue of the Armenian Apostolic Church. In other words, if we put aside the "administrative resource", we put aside the involvement of the police and the police, there is almost nothing left. Although, it's not even surprising.
If the same authorities get out of their Facebook groups, get out of their own atmosphere of fakes, they will make sure that Nikol Pashinyan no longer has public support for a long time, he doesn't have it at all. "Sarkov", artificial, "Berov" shows are not considered.
In fact, Nikol Pashinyan's only support remains the power structures, and more precisely, law enforcement, especially only a few branches of the power structures, say, the Investigative Committee, the prosecutor's office, the red beret squad, which ensure the initiation of politically motivated criminal proceedings, the "massacre" of opposition demonstrations, etc. However, even as a result of such repressions, Nikol Pashinyan's government has no support other than the mentioned ones. Well, plus an unsuccessful "actor", a disorganized priest and one or two satellites with interests in power...
