Nikol Pashinyan to Include Defeated Forces in a Framework

Starting from yesterday, Nikol Pashinyan has been meeting with the leaders of political parties who participated in the electoral struggle. However, their primary mission was to dilute the votes and contribute to Pashinyan's victory. As reported by the newspaper 'Hraparak', Pashinyan has met with Aram Sarkisyan, the president of the 'Republic' Party, nor with Norayr Norikyan, president of the newly established 'Fair Armenia' Party, as well as Levon Shirinyan and Arman Babajanyan from the Shirinyan-Babajanyan romantic alliance, Samvel Babayan, Suren Sahakyan, a member of the 'Civil Contract' party board, Tigran Urikhanyan, leader of the 'Our Home is Armenia' political force, Mikhail Hayrapetyan, president of the Conservative Party, Tigran Arzakantsyan, Samvel Babayan, and David Sanasaryan.

However, Pashinyan did not offer them specific positions; instead, he proposed the formation of a single body composed of leaders from defeated forces, who will join the 'hand of solidarity' he has extended. He stated that it would not be right for this political capital to be wasted, and that those leaders should express their opinions, which he would listen to and implement.

We were informed that no specific positions were offered to any of the figures in any system, from which some participants deduced that the newly formed council would operate at the expense of the budget, and its members would receive salaries. In other words, Pashinyan will not leave his fellow supporters unemployed.

Let us recall that during the rally on June 21, Nikol Pashinyan called for dialogue with all 'segments' with whom he had previously debated. This invitation has been rejected by some forces, such as the National People's Front and Karin Tonoyan's '5165' movement.
