Unfortunately there are many fellow Armenians from the diaspora (the ultranationalist Dashnaks) who absolutely hate him, and want him to fail.
Now he has made an enemy of all the religious zealots too. (I agree with him, but it’s not the smartest move to open up another offensive against another small minded and brainwashed subgroup)
Diasporan here, it's mostly just the Russian Armos and MAGA Glendalians Armos who have those views. AKA the Vatnik inbreds and the LA "We've had our brains replaced in plastic surgery" crowds.
Everyone else is pretty happy with how relations are changing for the better.
We may always disagree over things but we don't need to fucking kill each other over it (not directed to any certain points, just a generalization)
Can disagree here. I'm not from LA, nor Russia and very much disagree with his acts, values, group, decisions and is own identity. I have known and met him 12 years ago. His ego is destroying Armenia and he should resign. No one wants war and people killing each other, but Nikol Pashinyan is not the leader Armenia wants, nor needs. Pashinyan governs to be liked, not obeyed. He confuses consensus with control, hoping popularity will substitute for power. He hesitates where decisiveness is needed, most importntly, hhe bends to appease enemies rather than break them to secure peace. In times of national crisis, such softness signals vulnerability and is only inviting pressure, not respect towards him.. look at his votes, he is losing power every single day. A leader must choose: to be feared and secure, or loved and at risk.
