Pashinyan's approval rating will rise even more if the former top officials are arrested - Stepan Grigoryan

What are the chances of the new and old political forces of Armenia in the run-up to early parliamentary elections? Political analyst Stepan Grigoryan first of all notes that the party or bloc led by Pashinyan will receive enough votes. At the same time, it is difficult for the political analyst to say if this force or bloc will form the majority in Parliament. “Everything changes every day, and we see it. His rating will go up if the fight against corruption continues, if the former top officials are arrested,” Stepan Grigoryan says.

The political scientist also pays attention to a circumstance that is being ignored. According to him, if Nikol Pashinyan participates in the elections with his party, in addition to the “Civil Contract”, the parties “Bright Armenia” and “Republic” will also have great chances to enter the Parliament. “If they go together, then there will be one strong bloc, if not, then all these forces will be represented. It is clear that Pashinyan's approval rating is higher, and his party will get more votes,” Grigoryan notes. Find the details in the program “Paradigm”.
