Armenian authorities establishing ideological basis to prolong their  stay in power - Ashotyan

ArmInfo. It is obvious that RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan wants to establish an ideological basis to prolong his term in power and sell Armenia to the Turkish world, as stated by Armen Ashotyan, Vice-Chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia,  to journalists on February 44.

He noted that, based on Pashinyan's statements made during a press  conference in the United States and earlier, one can conclude that  there is an attempt in the country to establish an ideological basis  to prolong the current prime minister's stay in power.

Speaking about Armenia's desire to join the European Union, the  politician mentioned Azerbaijan's more than active cooperation with  this structure. He noted that just a few days ago, the European Bank  for Reconstruction and Development signed a multi-billion dollar  program with Azerbaijan. Additionally, the day before, EU officials  announced a project to enhance cooperation with Baku in the energy  sector in 2025. "The EU has decided to impose sanctions on  individuals who violate human rights. I believe that there  no  representatives from Baku  included in this list. Moreover, one of  the EU structures will increase engagement with Eastern Partnership  countries, including Armenia, Belarus and Azerbaijan. So, just think  about that," Armen Ashotyan said.
