It is becoming clearer by the day that the Russian-aligned previous regime/s are trying yet another comeback, this time by bringing in a supposed independent “third force”. Arman Tatoyan, who will, according to rumours likely either join Ruben Vardanyans party or found his own. It is very clear that they are aiming to repeat the Gyumri 2025 municipal elections on a national scale. This is incredibly concerning, given the fact that the previous regime has a core-voter base of at least 15%. A “third force” candidate like Tatoyan, who is incredibly popular and has a lot of money behind him, will have enough votes to make it into the parliament in significant numbers. Add to that Samvel Karapetyan, who is also likely going to get above the threshold, and you have a very big possibility that Armenia’s democracy and sovereignty will be buried in 2026.

I really hope people remain cold-headed and see this situation for what it is: CLEAR INTERFERENCE by Russia into our domestic affairs. WHY would anyone support a Russian-backed political block? It is against our interests… Arman Tatoyan is Kocharyan and Sargsyan in disguise, I hope people realise that voting for him means voting against Armenia’s future as a sovereign, democratic, and European state.

This is not about supporting Nikol or Poghos or Petros, this is about Armenian DEMOCRACY which we have fought so hard for and which is what makes us stand out as a people.
