Alen Simonyan, the Chairman of the National Assembly of Armenia, has called for an extraordinary session of parliament on June 17. The session will discuss the resignation of the current government and the formation of a new cabinet of ministers. This potential change in power raises questions about the future of Armenia’s relationship with Azerbaijan and the status of the peace agreement between the two nations.

Umud Mirzayev, president of the International Eurasia Press Fund, addressed these concerns in an interview with Ednews.

He downplayed the likelihood of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s departure, stating, "I think that Nikol Pashinyan controls the activities of the parliament, the government, and a little bit of the opposition these days in Armenia more than anyone else. The events that have taken place since he came to power prove this."

Mirzayev highlighted Pashinyan's strong position within Armenia, citing the absence of a viable alternative and the majority support he enjoys. "The reality shows that there is no alternative to Pashinyan in Armenia. Pashinyan's strength lies in the fact that the majority in Armenia is on his side," Mirzayev said.

He also noted that many in Armenian society recognize the consequences of their conflict with Azerbaijan. "The majority of the Armenian society is aware that they themselves made the conflict with Azerbaijan. Just as they deported Azerbaijanis from Armenia, burned and looted their houses. Azerbaijani people were killed and shot. Therefore, there is a large audience and a large force in Armenia who understand this," Mirzayev explained.

Mirzayev warned that the rise of Armenian revanchists, who advocate for aggressive territorial policies, could be disastrous. However, he believes this scenario is unlikely. "The coming to power of Armenian revanchists can be a very big disaster. But this probability is quite low," he concluded.

As Armenia faces this critical juncture, the stability of the region and the future of Armenian-Azerbaijani relations hang in the balance.
