The Mechanism of Checks and Balances is Activated

The newspaper "Past" reports that during a recent session of the National Assembly's Standing Committee on Defense and Security, an incident occurred between the committee chairman Andranik Kocharyan and committee member Haik Sargsyan. According to our parliamentary source, such disputes and conflicts occur quite frequently, not only within this committee but also generally in the Parliamentary Session of the Civil Contract party. These are not about healthy debates, but rather about sharp confrontations.

According to information from "Past", this situation is caused not only by interpersonal relationships but also by a pre-developed script through which Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan ensures balance within the team. Sources close to the newspaper indicate that, on one hand, individuals are discouraged from forming close relationships to prevent the emergence of internal “teams” and “poles.” On the other hand, those who attempt to project a strong persona and envision themselves as the “face” or “voice” of the faction immediately become targets and focal points of internal conflict. Thus, Nikol Pashinyan creates a mechanism of checks and balances within the team itself.
