ArmInfo.  The beginning of the end of Nikol  Pashinyan's career began from the moment he took office and from the  moment his new government was formed. The end was predetermined at  least by the fact that Pashinyan, having absolute power and  legitimacy, could not unite the elite, all the forces of society, the  Diaspora in order to put forward a real development program. Former  Prime Minister of Armenia, Rector of the Russian-Armenian (Slavonic)  University Armen Darbinyan stated this in an interview with the  international edition of the Federal News Agency.

According to the rector of the RAU, everything else was a matter of  time: "Almost the entire thinking part of the Armenian society  opposed: the Diaspora, Catholicos, the President, the Academy of  Sciences. In the end - the General Staff. This is not the beginning  of the end, but the end of the end. Everything is natural, and the  further Nikol Pashinyan moves towards the destruction of the Armenian  statehood, the more they oppose him>.

Answering the question of what, in this case, Pashinyan relies on,  the former Prime Minister noted that Pashinyan keeps the power due to  the fear of Armenians that things could get even worse. This is  another proof that Armenia has been developing incorrectly all this  time.

Meanwhile, developing the theme of the outright Russophobia of the  current prime minister's team, Darbinyan stressed that the completely  unexpected coming to power of Pashinyan and his team is the result of  the interaction of two directions. Firstly, this is the rejection of  the previous government, and secondly, the lack of interaction  between Moscow and Pashinyan before he came to power.

"I cannot say whose agent he is, but the fact that this group of  people is absolutely far from Russia and understanding the essence of  Russian-Armenian interaction is a fact. And the interaction between  him and the Russian Federation is forced. Pashinyan would be happy to  abandon this interaction at any time, "Darbinyan said.

The rector expressed his disagreement with the fact that anti-Russian  sentiments in Armenia during Pashinyan's tenure received an impetus.  "Only those who do not know Russia are afraid of it. And those forces  in the West that are in the grip of anti-Russian propaganda, they do  not know Russia. This means that they are afraid of it, and the very  element of Russophobia arises. Pashinyan's team absolutely does not  know Russia, does not understand the essence and priorities of the  Russian-Armenian union, and therefore becomes anti-Russian or, if you  like, Russophobic. As for the Armenian society, the anti-Russian  sentiments in Armenia are so scanty that in percentage terms they can  be considered a statistical error, "Darbinyan stressed.

He noted that the country was simply unlucky that the so-called  "velvet" revolution took place, but in fact - a "color" revolution,  and people who did not know Russia came to power. This does not mean  that their activities can somehow increase the percentage of  Russophobes among Armenians. Moreover, Pashinyan's failed activities  will increase Russia's supporters in Armenia.

Speaking about the influence of "Soros" on Armenian politics and on  Armenia in general, the rector of the RAU noted that Nikol Pashinyan  personally and his team interacts with these organizations, and they  do it publicly. People associated with Soros get high positions in  the public administration system. All this, of course, leads to an  increase in the influence of these organizations on domestic and  foreign policy decisions. "I'll say more, Armenia should follow the  example of Hungary and close all these Soros funds to hell. They  contribute to the destabilization of the situation in the country and  do not help the systemic, correct, necessary development of Armenia,  "said Armen Darbinian.
