ArmInfo. The Yerkir Tsirani Party considers the six months of Nikol Pashinyan's rule and his formal resignation as a continuation of the authoritarian regime.  According  to the press service of the party, during his tenure, Pashinyan not  only repeated the entire statement of Sargsyan, but also distorted  reality under the name of revolution, and ensured the complete  security of Serzh Sargsyan.

During these months, not a single law was passed that would exclude  political and economic monopolies.  Superior authorities of Prime  Minister were not limited. There were no improvements in customs and  tax laws. The law on lustration was not adopted. The constitutional  electoral law was not adopted, the constitutional law on political  parties was not adopted, the right of the Artsakh people to be  elected in national elections was not returned, the possibility of  Armenian citizens abroad to participate in elections was not ensured,  a document confirming the legal basis for the presence of Armed  Armenian forces in Artsakh was not adopted. Moreover, a corruption  law was passed, which, under the name of pension contributions,  allows funds of unknown origin to export equal 5-6% of the country's  budget for 45 years abroad.

Representatives of the authoritarian regime Valery Osipyan and Hunan  Poghosyan, who repeatedly violated human rights, were appointed to  senior positions, and representatives of the former government were  reassigned, such as Deputy Head of the National Security Service  Arzuman Harutyunyan and Finance Minister Atom Janjugazyan. Advisor to  President Serzh Sargsyan Varuzhan Nersisyan was appointed Armenian  Ambassador to the United States. Armenian President Armen Sarkissian,  appointed by Serzh Sargsyan, received  protection of the current  Armenian authorities in the person of Pashinyan.  Heads of legal  structures such as the National Security Service, the SIS, the IC and  the police continue to apply the same methods as the previous power.  Regarding the most major crimes have not been carried out versatile  investigation, arrest and detention were selective.  People who were  imprisoned for political persecution were not released. The number of  murders in the Armed Forces of Armenia remained about the same as in  the days of the previous government.

Also, elections to the Council of Elders of Yerevan were held based  on the existing authoritarian Electoral Code, and the Prime Minister,  who led the campaign, exceeding his authority and dividing the public  into "black and white" distorted the electoral process in local  governments. A month later, through Mayor Hayk Marutyan, he thanked  the Republican Party.  The Prime Minister also did not eliminate the  constitutional provisions that contribute to the development of  corruption. Within 6 months of Pashinyan's rule, our Nakhchivan enemy  approached us in 3 important directions to the  Yerevan-Vayk-Goris-Kapan highway through large-scale engineering  works. Police troops were not abolished, and did not become troops of  the border guard.  As before, natural gas was imported into Armenia  for $ 150 and was sold to consumers for $ 300. The production and  sale of electricity continues to provide the producer with huge  revenues.

According to the draft budget for 2019, the economic growth forecast  is lower than in 2018 and in 2017.  During Pashinyan's visit to  Ararat region on September 22, a false statement was made about the  increase of pensions from January 1, 2019.  Nikol Pashinyan made a  false statement on August 17 that the events of March 1 were  disclosed.  Heroes of Armenia continue to be ignored by the  authorities of Armenia. Nikol Pashinyan stated that there are no  oligarchs in Armenia, meanwhile, he concluded an agreement with Gagik  Tsarukyan.  Despite the fact that the doors of ''Baghramian 26''  (residence of the former president) were open, however, the building  continues to function as the residence of the first government  official, the building of the Armenian government. The doors of  ''Bagramyan 19'' (Parliament) are also open, however, this does not  mean that the parliament makes decisions from which the citizens of  the country benefit.  Instead, the mansions on Proshyan and Kond  streets, which are the houses of Serzh Sargsyan and Nikol Pashinyan,  are still closed to visitors, and they are guarded by numerous  policemen.
