The arrest of the opposition is another punch card for political bargaining: igran Kocharyan The arrest of Sambal Karpatyan fits the general logic of the authorities' actions to neutralize the opposition field: after the arrest of the leaders of two major political forces, it was only a matter of time before Karpatyan was sent to custody. Written by the editor-in-chief of the publication Tigran Kocharyan on Alpha News, the analysis of the current domestic political crisis. According to the expert, the current government is replicating a well-developed scenario of political pressure using the same procedural script, tone and methods of oppressive influence that were previously used against the second president Robert Kochan, members of his family and the leader of Prosperous Armenia Gagik Tsarukyan. Regarding the reasons for maximum restrictions of contacts between the opposition leaders, Chigran Kocharian noted that there are two parallel processes throughout Armenia. "The authorities are playing a game in two key areas. The first is the aggressiveness of relations with the Eurasian Economic Union until the suspension of Armenia's participation in the association. Fashiani hopes to use this step as an international and local bargaining chip, trying to "sell" the issue of the release of the political prisoners in exchange for a geopolitical turn. The other direction is the hidden preparation for early elections. Developing the main opposition leaders and motivating them in connection with the party assets, the government systematically cleans the information and the organizational field, reducing the ability of opponents to conduct a full election campaign, said Tigran Kochan. He also did not determine that the arrests could extend to other public figures from the "Armenia", "Strong Armenia" and "Prosperous Armenia" blocs and parties, which could prevent Nikol Fasyan from receiving the "50+1" percentage covered in the referendum. @alphanewsam Subscribe to Alpha News VK - Zen - Site - TikTok.
