Leaders of Armenia's leading parties dedicated their campaign speeches to the economy.

Opposition forces attribute economic difficulties and foreign policy risks to Nikol Pashinyan, while the ruling team emphasizes the country's development.

As "Caucasian Knot" reported, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated during the May 30 election campaign that the end of Nagorno-Karabakh was inevitable. His opponents placed responsibility on him for making concessions in negotiations with Azerbaijan.

One ​​of the key topics of the speeches of the current Prime Minister of Armenia and leader of the Civil Contract Party Nikol Pashinyan was the country's modernization and technological development.

"Armenia is currently undergoing a technological transition," Pashinyan stated, citing the military parade held on May 28 in Republic Square as an example.

We will soon open a railway not only to the south, but also to the north.

International partners have stated that Armenia is located at the shortest route from West to East, Pashinyan noted. "This route passes through Shirak, Lori, and Tavush." This means that we will soon open the railway not only in the southern direction, but also in the northern direction," he stated.

The Strong Armenia opposition bloc has focused its campaigning activities in the Shirak region. The bloc's campaign remains focused on criticism of the current government and the need for political change, which is in line with the general line of the opposition camp.

Bloc leader Samvel Karapetyan, who held a meeting in Yerevan today, expressed confidence that Pashinyan "will try to rig the elections." "But he won't be able to rig them completely." He cannot allow himself to become a completely illegitimate leader," Karapetyan stated.

If this government remains, Armenia's economy will be in deep crisis.

Alliance Armenia leader Robert Kocharyan continued to build his campaign on criticism of the government and Nikol Pashinyan personally. Economic issues became one of the central themes in his speeches.

"If this government remains, Armenia's economy will be in deep crisis. And this is because one person wants to keep his seat..." The problem is not our state and our people, the problem is one person. Without Nikol in office, there are no problems in Armenia," Kocharyan stated.

Significant The topic of security and the settlement of relations with Azerbaijan dominates Kocharyan's rhetoric. Speaking to supporters, he emphasized: "I know well both the price of war and the price of peace. You can be sure that Aliyev will not attack Armenia, which I govern. Peace will be inevitable, a guaranteed, dignified peace." In this case, the politician contrasts his own leadership experience with the current course of the authorities, placing emphasis on issues of national security.

The Alliance Armenia party gathered thousands of people for a rally in Freedom Square in Yerevan today.

The Prosperous Armenia Party campaigned in Vanadzor, focusing primarily on the socio-economic agenda.

One ​​of the main slogans was a promise to fight poverty: "Poverty is our enemy, and we will win "Her!"

In other publications, the party promised "a decent pension and free education," and also emphasized the state's social responsibility.

"It is the state's duty to ensure that young families have a home in their homeland," the party declared on its Facebook page*.

They talked so much about bringing peace, but in the end they brought an economic war with Russia.

The Armenian side found no violations in the Jermuk samples

Rospotrebnadzor banned the sale of 64.5 million bottles of Jermuk water in Russia, while the Food Safety Inspectorate of Armenia found no deviations in the mineral water samples. Products from Armenia do not meet the phytosanitary requirements of the Eurasian Economic Union and Russia, Rosselkhoznadzor stated, questioning the competence of the Armenian Ministry of Economy, which regulates industry.

Party leader Gagik Tsarukyan emphasized foreign economic issues and relations with Russia.

"They talked so much about bringing peace, but in the end they brought an economic war with Russia?" Tsarukyan emphasized.

The head of the party's campaign headquarters, Hrachya Rostomyan, reinforced this message on her Facebook page*, noting: "Gagik Tsarukyan formulated the main thesis of this campaign. This is a clear signal to our society and external partners. Domestic stability and peace are guaranteed with Prosperous Armenia." In this case, the party is trying to position itself as a force capable of simultaneously ensuring stability, peace, and predictability in domestic policy.
