"By the "bitter" irony of fate, hours after Nikol Pashinyan's "oppositional" speech regarding the activities of law enforcement officers yesterday, another armed "clash" took place in Yerevan, as a result of which one person was killed.
At the same time, the press reports that the head of the community of Parakar CP was also a participant, who received a gunshot wound in the leg. Here, however, it is necessary to record an important circumstance. What did Nikol Pashinyan consider as the "biggest problem" in his "opposition" speech?
"The biggest problem is something else, people don't believe that I don't sign under the scripts of all those performances, that's the biggest problem," he said. In fact, the biggest problem is not that the systems don't work efficiently, that the criminal situation is there. at a rather alarming level.
The main problem for the head of the government is that people can consider him responsible for it. And this means that the head of the government is not interested in the result of management as the main problem, but only that people do not consider him responsible for inefficiency. In the opposite case , the prime minister will not give a speech addressed to law enforcement officers, which gives the impression that the leader of the opposition is speaking, but a speech when it will be clear that the speaker is the leader of the state administration system and imagines how to achieve the working efficiency of state institutions. Such an idea Nikol Pashinyan does not have one.
Instead, he has a very good idea of how to "disassociate" himself from responsibility through information-propaganda activities. It doesn't work for the general public, but his target audience is not the general public at all, but his own electorate.
I have been talking about this for a long time, that Pashinyan has absolutely no illusions about expanding the electorate. He set himself the task of keeping it."
