Kocharyan's arrest as a new political trigger: Will they resort to a street movement?
Can the arrest of Robert Kocharyan and the new criminal proceedings against the former authorities turn into a street struggle?
In this broadcast, I talk about the arrest of Robert Kocharyan, the reaction of the parliamentary opposition, and the political processes that may follow these developments. I also address the question of why opposition forces are once again focusing on protecting their own leaders, criminal cases, and property issues, while key topics for Armenia—Tigranashen, the constitutional referendum, and foreign policy challenges—remain in the background.
I also discuss Nikol Pashinyan's new political positioning in the context of the struggle against the former system and promises to "return stolen assets." After nine years in power, the fact that these same problems remain unresolved raises new questions regarding the judicial system, the confiscation of illegal property, and political responsibility.
Will these arrests become the start of a real street movement for the opposition, or will the political struggle once again be limited to parliamentary speeches and the defense of their own interests?
