Has a 'Black Cat' Passed Between Pashinyan and Mirzoyan?

The newspaper "Past" reports that Nikol Pashinyan, who has constantly complained about "clan rule" and transformed it into "super-clan rule" after 2018, has suddenly decided to address the matter of state service vehicles in a "drastic manner" within the framework of pre-election logic.

"I was also dealing with this in the morning... I want the list of departmental vehicles, and I am marking those vehicles with a pen. As a result of this drastic decision, some organizational issues will arise, but my colleagues have not responded timely to my previous instruction," he stated, assuring that a significant proportion of the vehicle fleet, about 70-90 percent, will be reduced,” the newspaper notes, highlighting that the first affected department is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“According to our government source, Pashinyan has 'marked' almost all vehicles of the Foreign Ministry, with only a few exceptions. Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan has attempted to salvage the situation, arguing that the foreign ministry receives foreign guests who need to be greeted, escorted, and sent off, and thus representative vehicles are essential. However, our sources indicate that Nikol Pashinyan has made it clear that alternative options should be found, such as renting a vehicle when necessary. It remains unclear whether the Foreign Minister will ultimately be able to convince him, but our source reports that a 'black cat has passed' between Nikol Pashinyan and Ararat Mirzoyan over this issue,” the newspaper writes.
