Speaking of sovereignty Armenia`s premier implies his own power  -  expert 

ArmInfo. Speaking about "sovereignty", Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan actually means his own power, for the preservation of which victims and losses have not played a significant role for a long time. Political scientist,  co-founder of the Alternative Projects group Vahe Hovhannisyan wrote  about this on his Facebook page.

In this vein, the expert drew parallels between the current situation  in Armenia and Ukraine. He noted that both leaders, Pashinyan and  Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, made statements reflecting  their understanding of sovereignty. Hovhannisyan recalled Zelensky's  words: "We preserved our state, our independence, sovereignty, the  capital and many other cities and villages... Unfortunately, we  suffered many casualties."

The Armenian political scientist emphasized that the President of  Ukraine had the opportunity and duty to prevent the war or stop it as  soon as possible in order to save the country from destruction and  hundreds of thousands of lives. However, in his opinion, this was not  done because Zelensky relied on external assistance instead of acting  independently. "He is still coming up with a theory that he saved  many cities and villages and, of course, sovereignty," Hovhannisyan  noted.

Further, by analogy, he recalled the statements of the Armenian Prime  Minister, in particular: "Having survived the defeat in the 44-day  war, we were given the opportunity to have a sovereign state."

The political scientist drew attention to the similarity between the  statements of Zelensky and Pashinyan.  "In the case of Ukraine, it  became clear who provoked the war and who forbade it to be stopped  earlier... In the case of Armenia, this important issue remains to be  clarified," the expert continued.

At the same time, Hovhannisyan expressed his conviction that in the  future, with new losses of territory and human lives, we should  expect a continuation of such statements from Nikol Pashinyan. He  suggested that in order to justify his policy, the Armenian Prime  Minister will again claim that Armenia is just beginning to build its  sovereignty. "This is not excluded, since by saying "sovereignty", he  means his own power, for the preservation of which the number of  victims and losses has long been irrelevant," Hovhannisyan explained.

He then touched on the possibility of Zelensky and Pashinyan mixing  up, and expressed his conviction that the Ukrainian population is  ready to send "Zelensky to the dustbin of history along with what he  has done." At the same time, Hovhannisyan stressed that it does not  matter whether there will be regular or snap elections in Armenia,  since Pashinyan has no chance of staying in power. However, according  to him, this means only one thing: the Armenian prime minister can  take some new steps before the elections, creating a new reality  where the elections will not decide anything.

"This scenario must be taken very seriously. Our political and social  seriousness requires that we recognize this and counteract it. We  need to make the struggle and resistance much more serious and  qualitatively different," the political scientist concluded.

Earlier, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in his speech  at the Atlantic Council in Washington that he had found a "formula  for increasing the level of independence." He said, in particular:  "When we thought about what the formula for increasing the level of  independence was, we came to the conclusion that it meant replacing  dependence on the few with dependence on the many. Now we are acting  within the framework of this formula."
