After the General Staff's Statement, Prime Minister Pashinyan Sends 'Alert'

After the General Staff's statement, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has sent an 'alert' and swiftly summoned close associates, including Ararat Mirzoyan, Alen Simonyan, Ruben Rubinyan, and Vahagn Hovakimyan. He indicated that if the situation sharply escalates, a state of emergency may be declared, instructing them to prepare a project.

It has been reported that Mirzoyan left the meeting rather discontented, although he did not voice his concerns publicly. Notably, he was absent from the rally in the Republic Square yesterday.

Later, Pashinyan instructed everyone—ministers and regional governors—to mobilize people for the rally. Reports emerged that oligarchs were also involved; Khachatur Sukiasyan and Samvel Aleksanyan, as well as the management of 'Spayka,' pressured their employees to participate in the rally. Several buses were arranged to transport people, such as from the city hall of Artik.

In the preceding days, an alert was declared among the military personnel stationed at Pashinyan's summer residence following the war, as all were called for emergency service.

The results have satisfied the ruling faction; by the end of the day, they were in a victorious mood, having not expected so many people to turn out at the square.
