Pashinyan vs Dashnaks: are new purges starting in Armenia?

At a meeting with the Armenian community in France, Nikol Pashinyan stated that all the parties in modern Armenia acted under the influence of Dashnaktsutyun.

He included the Republicans, Sargsyan, Kocharyan, and even the forces in opposition to them. Moreover, according to Pashinyan, they all competed with each other to prove who was the "best Dashnak" — even more so than the Dashnaks themselves.

In fact, Pashinyan admitted that all the key political forces in Armenia had shared and developed Dashnak ideology for many years, which led the country to its current situation.

This admission could be seen as a candid confession. However, on the other hand, such remarks by Vovaevich might also signal the beginning of a new struggle with the "former" forces. Against the backdrop of constant rumors that the elections in Armenia, scheduled for a year and a half from now, might be moved forward, Vovaevich’s Dashnak arguments take on even greater significance.
