The “Iravunk” newspaper writes: “It is known that Nikol is already actively preparing for the 2026 parliamentary elections. The elections in Gyumri and Parakar were a big wake-up call for him that the situation of the CP is serious. Social surveys also indicate that Nikol’s rating does not even reach 20 percent. In this difficult situation, Nikol is trying to find a common language with the main foreign players to ensure his re-election. However, in this field, everything is more than complicated for Nikol. In the geopolitical situation that is changing day by day, it is not clear what will happen in the world in a year. That is why Nikol does not know with whom he will agree. According to his character, he is trying to satisfy all the main players: Russians, Americans, Europeans, and Turks. The question is to what extent he will succeed.
However, to satisfy the Russians, he has decided to sacrifice Alen Simonyan, a writer in the eyes of the Russians, who at the same time has a very negative rating inside Armenia. The series of scandals related to Alen was recently supplemented by articles published in a number of foreign media outlets, where Alen is compared to the American pedophile Epshetyn. In addition, Nikol considers Alen to be a person considered by the globalists as the main candidate for prime minister, who could replace him if the globalists succeed. According to Nikol's entourage, the issue of Alen has now been resolved and he will not be the future NA Speaker in the event of Nikol's victory. Nikol has already assured the Russians of this, and in order for Alen not to get too upset, Nikol is keeping the stone cases related to Alen's closest relatives in a suspended state.
