Armenia's PM characterizes domestic political situation as confrontation between former elite and people

The characteristic of the political situation in the country is the following – the “elite” deprived of power as a result of 2018 revolution wants revenge, Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan wrote on Facebook on Tuesday morning.

“And it is not only about the political “elite” but about all who had privileges till 2018 and was deprived of them after 2018,” the PM wrote.

“The nation which after 2018 revolution felt its power does not want to lose this status. Accordingly, the real confrontation is not between the government and the opposition but between the “elite” deprived of privileges in 2018 and the people. But in any case, the strong word is after the people because if the people say their word, the “elites” will not be able to do anything. I will do everything for the people not to be deprived of the opportunity to say their word,” Pashinyan wrote.

He also stressed that at the current phase the priority is to ensure the external security of Armenia and Artsakh and the mentioned actions should not jeopardize the external security.
