Iravunk daily of Armenia writes as follows, in particular: [PM] Nikol Pashinyan senses not only from the operational data being received, but also on his own skin during the election campaign that he will not be able to gather the necessary votes in the [parliamentary] elections [on June 7] to reproduce the CC [i.e. Armenia’s ruling Civil Contract party] rule.

Therefore, the latter's only hope remains the scattered votes of political forces that will not overcome the passing threshold [to win seats in parliament]. Taking all this into account, it is not ruled out that a number of political forces participating in the elections will give Pashinyan Nikol an unpleasant surprise in the coming days by announcing a withdrawal and simply come out of participation [from elections].

If this scenario works, it will now become obvious also which of the small forces participating in the elections had entered this election battle with noble intentions, and which were in the role of Nikol Pashinyan's pocket "spare parts."
