"Fact": The order was given to maximize the circulation of false propaganda theses

The “Fact” newspaper writes: “The current authorities intend to make maximum use of the latest statement of the Foreign Intelligence Service. Let us recall that the service, created under Pashinyan, without mentioning the name of a specific country, recently announced that it allegedly receives intelligence information that “in another country, acting on behalf of the special services of a given country, various actors are trying to exert pressure on individuals of Armenian origin and citizens of the Republic of Armenia who are engaged in economic activity in that country, pushing the latter to carry out actions in support of certain political forces that have submitted applications for participation in the upcoming parliamentary elections in Armenia, which include, but are not limited to, actions of a financial and organizational nature of support to these political forces by the aforementioned businessmen.”

According to "Fact" information, the day before yesterday, after the government session, Pashinyan held a consultation with several law enforcement officers and representatives of the so-called "Soros" organizations, complaining that only one organization has since issued statements and sent letters to the prosecutor's office, while other representatives of civil society are not particularly active in this regard.

Let us recall that Daniel Ioannisyan was the one who "went on a rampage", announcing that they want to bring people to Armenia from Russia by bus, offering electoral bribes. He also applied to the Prosecutor General's Office.

Pashinyan also called on other organizations to become more active, to mercilessly exploit this false propaganda thesis in the coming months, creating an impression in the public about the alleged dangers. Law enforcement agencies were also instructed to be more active in the near future, to initiate criminal proceedings, and to conduct demonstration arrests and trials against the organizations.

By the way, it is no coincidence that the State Revenue Committee made a noteworthy statement the day before yesterday that it would strengthen control over cash transported across the border in order to ensure financial transparency and prevent possible violations of the law.

“In January-February 2026, more than 450 cases of import and export of cash by individuals were recorded or declared, amounting to about 69 million USD.

Of these, about 59.5 million USD of cash was imported into the Republic of Armenia. Analyses show that a significant part of the cash was transported from the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union,” the SRC noted, adding that the large-scale transportation of cash carries certain risks, including risks related to the possibility of shadow circulation, money laundering, illegal financial flows or other violations.
