What was discussed by the members of the ruling party: details from the closed meeting in Jermuk

During the weekend, a political meeting of the 'Civil Contract' party took place in Jermuk, chaired by the party head and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. According to the official announcement, issues related to foreign and domestic policy, the party's strategic development, as well as organizational matters were discussed.

Several details from the closed meeting have been made known to ArmLur.am. First, it should be noted that the meeting was held at the 'Hayat Palace' hotel in Jermuk, which is struggling to return to its previous operational pace following the attacks on September 13. The number of vacationers in Jermuk has significantly decreased. It is perhaps for this reason that Jermuk was chosen as the venue for the government gathering, to potentially reignite activity in this once-touristic city.

Specifically, according to the news outlet, Nikol Pashinyan referred to the threats facing our country and Artsakh, presented the situation, but did not provide more details than what he had shared at the recent government meetings. He announced that all means are being employed to exert international pressure on Azerbaijan to reopen the essential Lachin corridor, but there are still no tangible results.

According to attendees who spoke to ArmLur.am, Pashinyan's mood was clearly not high, and they got the impression that he was upset with his team. He once again mentioned the falsified elections within the 'Civil Contract' party and confessed that he cannot forgive his comrades for the failed elections of the party's board members, and did not hide his anger that day. Furthermore, he did not interact with his teammates with the same warmth as before, keeping himself distant from them.

Overall, the meeting provided a summary of the year marked by pessimistic notes.
