The NDP called on Armenia`s political forces to unite around three national priorities.

ArmInfo. The Council of the National Democratic Pole (NDP) called on national political forces and civic initiatives defending Armenian statehood, the Church, and the security of the Homeland to unite around three national priorities.

This is the NDP's response to the arrests of opposition figures, noting that they indicate systematic pressure on the government's political opponents. "On November 2, 2026, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that if the opposition speaks out against the new Constitution, public pressure will be organized against it, led by the ruling majority. On the same day, he declared that the activities of the opposition, "under the protection of the guarantors," will end in "political catastrophe." When the head of state announces pressure on those who oppose constitutional amendments, and arrests occur in parallel,

"This is no longer law enforcement activity. This is a cleansing of the political field in order to clear the way for the adoption of a new Constitution," the People's Democratic Party stated on its Facebook page.

The Council recalled that it was Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev who publicly and repeatedly called amending the Armenian Constitution a precondition for a peace treaty. In this regard, the People's Democratic Party expressed its conviction that the current wave of political persecution serves precisely the agenda shaped in Baku, which runs counter to the national and strategic interests of the Armenian people and Armenian statehood. "Therefore, the People's Democratic Party calls on all national-political forces and civic initiatives defending Armenian statehood, the Church, and the security of the Motherland to put aside secondary differences and unite around three priorities: immediately stop politically motivated persecution and arrests; prevent changes to the Constitution under external pressure; "Remove Pashinyan and form a national anti-crisis governance and government accountable to the people and the state, serving national interests," the NDP concluded.

As a reminder, on November 5, following a meeting held at the mansion of Strong Armenia party leader Samvel Karapetyan, 13 opposition forces issued a joint statement declaring their readiness to combine their efforts to create an atmosphere of public unity around priority national tasks and to counter the challenges facing Armenia. They also called on all political forces, public figures, and community leaders to join this national unity.
