"BASTION OF DEMOCRACY" NIKOLI ARMENIA

May 23, 2026 Author Heghine Asiryan After the "warm" meeting with Pashinyan, Arpine Soghyan, a gynecologist with 21 years of experience at the Yerevan polyclinic, regularly receives reproaches from the management and hints that it is time for her to leave, that she has been called an unwanted person by the political leadership, who cannot stay in the state institution. Don't you remember the footage from the sharp argument between the doctor and Nikol Pashinyan during the pre-election campaign in the Arabkir administrative district, which they could not or did not manage to eliminate through the enslaved law enforcement officers loyal to Nikol? And the whole of Armenia saw the crushing public slap of a brave, true patriot, a true mother and woman to Nikol Pashinyan, which he received since 2020. I don't doubt for a second how the hearts of dozens of mothers, mothers with children, widowed women have cooled, how the traitor's face has been torn. On the day of the argument, many predicted that the poor woman would pay a heavy price for her negligence. But the mayor of Yerevan, Tigran Avinyan, who has learned the lessons of European civilization well, insisted that "it is impossible for any person to be fired for his political views." "Especially since we are talking about a woman who lost her brother and can express her emotions in one way or another," the mayor said. By the way, Arpine Soghoyan is also the sister of Hrant Papikyan, who went missing in the 44-day war. Now, is there anyone who will be surprised if this woman eventually writes an application for dismissal, ostensibly for health reasons, as they always "lovingly" dismiss unwanted people? The total pressuring of Rpine Soghoyan has already started at the workplace. This is also confirmed by his daughter, Tatevik Soghoyan, who, as is known, deals with the defense of Bagrat Archbishop Gaystanyan as a lawyer. What an interesting coincidence. Nikol Pashinyan seems to plan to hit two birds with one stone. Long live another vivid proof of the "bastion of democracy" protecting our free speech.
