Video: "Our Opposition Is Nonexistent, We Are Stagnating Because of It" – Speaker of the National Assembly

The Speaker of the National Assembly, Alen Simonyan, in an interview with Radio Aurora, addressed the question of whether the opposition is insufficient. He stated, "Our opposition is nonexistent, and that is our problem as the ruling party, meaning we are stagnating because of it."

“We don’t have a natural competitor, and because of that, we often face issues. That is to say, when there is a competitor, there is something unifying around a common idea, you are constantly keeping in shape like an athlete. Imagine, for example, if 'Real Madrid' or 'Barcelona' were always playing against beginner teams," Simonyan added.
