Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan recently challenged all four figures to a debate: Kocharyan, Sargsyan, the aging Ter-Petrosyan, and even Catholicos Garegin II. In true "fully assembled toy" fashion, all four refused — each under their own pretext.

And here’s a point worth noting: for Pashinyan to dismantle this parade of nesting dolls, there’s no need to fight all four at once. Though they may look different on the outside — some bigger, some smaller — they are essentially the same. They’re all controlled from the same center; they share the same manufacturer.

So, it’s enough to crack just one of these dolls — and the whole structure will collapse.
