I get the impression that all members of the political opposition in Armenia are in a state of zugzwang. This is what Russia-based Armenian political scientist Karine Gevorgyan said via a video call from Moscow during the representative rally held by the “Third Power” civic initiative in Yerevan today. According to her, the opposition in Armenia is “forced to take action”.

“Moreover, the situation gets worse every time and in every new stage. This is what I see now. This means that the scenario was clearly made up by the person who is probably and successfully giving the Prime Minister advice, not the Prime Minister himself,” Gevorgyan emphasized.
