Political scientist: Pashinyan`s government acknowledges that it is  impossible to simultaneously oppose two non-agreement-capable  opposition centers

ArmInfo.  The current Armenian government realizes that it is highly unlikely that it will  be able to cope with two organized opposition centers that actively oppose it and refuse to engage in any negotiations or agreements with Prime  Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

This opinion was expressed by political scientist and political  observer Benjamin Matevosyan on his Telegram channel, discussing the  current situation in the country. According to Matevosyan, the  arrests, the announcement of the storming of the Mother See of  Etchmiadzin, the raider seizure of the Electric Networks of Armenia  company, searches and fights in parliament are all the result of the  political activities of  Russian businessman of Armenian origin,  Samvel Karapetyan.

At the same time, the political scientist is confident that even if  the Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II is arrested, he will  continue to remain Catholicos. "Yes, there may be an unpleasant scene  of the storming, but, in fact, this will not change anything. This is  not cynicism, but simply a factual statement," Matevosyan believes.

Touching upon the march in support of Samvel Karapetyan, the  political scientist noted that threats of dismissal do not stop  people from taking to the streets. He expressed his conviction that  the temporary raider seizure of "Elnets" will also not affect this  activity. "The arrest of bishops and MPs is emotionally unpleasant  and illegal, but such an approach will not change the political  situation either. The level of support for Pashinyan's actions will  not increase. The brawls in the National Assembly involving the MPs  from the Civil Contract and the use of bottles also do not affect the  situation, aside from the appearance of several video clips in the  media," he noted. In conclusion, Matevosyan pointed out that key  processes lie ahead, such as the formation of a new political pole  and elections. "These are the central events for the medium term. The  one with the strongest willpower will win," the political scientist  concluded.
