Hayk Sargsyan Has His Own Opinion: His Issues Will Soon Be Resolved, Aghazaryan Says

Today, the idea of early elections remains relevant. This was stated by National Assembly member Hovik Aghazaryan in an interview with NEWS.am.

“There are two obstructive factors. One is that it has been nearly five years since the current members of parliament were elected, and there is a psychological aspect; if someone has been a representative for five consecutive years, they will potentially receive a pension as a member of parliament in the future. This does not apply to me, as I have already served for five years once. This could be an obstructive factor,” he said.

Aghazaryan noted the other obstruction: “The issue of impeachment is still fresh, and therefore, in the event of a resignation, such a scenario could arise. These two factors are restraining; they must weigh their options. If I were part of the team, I would suggest early elections. I believe this issue is on the agenda; it hasn’t been taken off.”

Referring to the CP conference, Aghazaryan added that there were no surprises for him there. “The expansion of the CP board was driven by the need for one or two individuals to be elected who are distinct personalities so that their image blends in with the overall average gray mass. I won’t name names; you know who these types of people are,” he said.

Aghazaryan asserted, “This is a very convenient option for Nikol Pashinyan, to have a gray, average, faceless mass, which allows him to bring forward whatever he wants and pass decisions as the team leader.”

Aghazaryan considers it normal that there are disagreements within the CP. “But the team is coherent in its facelessness. Many have sacrificed their individuality, and everyone together has become abstract components of a mediated figure. Now, there are fewer and fewer individuals with their own opinions. Hayk Sargsyan has always been such, and soon, he will probably resolve his issues. There are also one or two others who will either be pushed out or will move towards the right,” Aghazaryan concluded.
