Dear compatriots, what the government presents as progress is, in reality, a blow to our statehood. The PACE resolution has bypassed political persecutions and repressions, instead legitimizing the attack against the Church and preparing the ground for "filtering" the opposition in 2026.

Below, I present the problematic section of the resolution, which contains exclusively pro-government theses:

Regarding countries under the full monitoring procedure -

5.1. Armenia: The Assembly expresses its regret regarding the excessive polarization and the targeting (stigmatization) of political opponents by all sides in Armenia. It is deeply concerned by the existing tension between the Prime Minister and the leader of the Armenian Church, as well as by reports of conspiracies by several clergymen of the Armenian Apostolic Church to usurp power.

Reaffirming that the three consecutive elections held since 2018 have been free of illegalities, the Assembly once again notes the necessity of introducing regulations regarding the misuse of public resources and the financing of political parties.

Ahead of the June 2026 general elections, the Assembly calls for improved relations between the political majority and the opposition to ensure that the pre-election campaign is based on issues and policy, and is free from personal attacks among election participants. In this context, the Assembly refers to the recommendation of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI), according to which "elected bodies and political parties should adopt appropriate codes of conduct that prohibit the use of hate speech, call on their members and followers to refrain from its use, endorsement, or dissemination, and provide for sanctions." The Assembly takes note of the intention of the current Prime Minister to organize a constitutional referendum after the 2026 general elections.
