Pashinyan: "The War Parties Have Lost"
Nikol Pashinyan, Prime Minister and leader of the Civil Contract Party, who declared victory in a press conference at 2:00 AM when only 10% of the votes had been opened, made a brief statement this morning at the Parliament, where he attended 2025 state budget discussions.
"The people of Armenia, with their votes, have defended the state, independence, the future, peace, and the Republic of Armenia," Pashinyan stated. Referring to opposition leaders Karapetyan, Kocharyan, and Tsarukyan, Pashinyan said, "The three-headed war party has been defeated," and continued:
"This is significant, but it is not the final result. I believe the people have clearly expressed their will that the three-headed war party and its accompanying criminal-oligarchic system must be eliminated from the Republic of Armenia. This will certainly be one of the most important agendas for the political majority and the government, and we must implement this without delay, with very determined and decisive steps."
Pashinyan concluded his speech by stating that the Civil Contract Party will "obtain a majority in parliament, form the government, and continue these discussions in the coming months."
