Has Pashinyan Decided to Return to the Russian Platform? Discussions Emerge in the RPA

Discussions and dissent simmer within the pro-Western wing of the RPA regarding whether Nikol Pashinyan has decided to "betray" the West. He has been engaging directly with Baku, demanding respectful treatment from Russia, and opposing a referendum on EU matters.

They believe that the West will not forgive Pashinyan for shifting the peace process to the Russian platform, and there is a possibility that "a salute will be fired from within"—betting on a group that would clearly align with the West and could destabilize Pashinyan's government.
