"After the incidents recorded in Nikol Pashinyan's campaign in recent days and, in particular, the tense situations in the Arabkir administrative region, the Prime Minister's campaigning behavior has changed dramatically. According to the information of the "Zhoghovurd" daily, there were people in Pashinyan's team who advised him not to engage in long conversations with citizens during the campaign in order to avoid possible new incidents and scandals. And yesterday, during the campaign held in Ararat Marz, it was noticeable that Nikol Pashinyan did not have long contacts with the citizens.
After short greetings, he mostly spoke on the loudspeaker, conveying what he had to say without emotional outbursts and entering into direct debates. If Pashinyan used to stand, talk to citizens for a long time, listen to complaints and try to create the impression of direct contact, now the picture is different: fast walking, handing out leaflets from a distance, strict security control and minimal contact with people. According to reports, Pashinyan was urged to change his behavior in the CP. In other words, even in their own team they understand that street reality is no longer what it was in 2018.
Today, people do not approach with admiration, but with demands, grievances and difficult questions. In this way, Pashinyan and his teammates try to control the course of the campaign and avoid situations that could become the cause of new scandals.
