YEREVAN. – Hraparak daily of Armenia writes: One of the older coworkers of the MFA system told noteworthy details in connection with the 2021 snap parliamentary elections.

He was in contact with international organizations and foreign ministries of European countries due to his work, and says that during that time there was a lot of attention toward Armenia. They were interested—around the clock—in the outcome of the elections, asked for information from them, did studies, and did not hide their concern in connection with the rise of the opposition, especially with [second President] Robert Kocharyan's [election] campaign.

Our interlocutor says that he will never forget the joy that the European partners experienced after the publicizing of the results of June 21. They openly congratulated each other; the impression was that it seemed they were the ones who achieved victory, not [PM] Nikol Pashinyan.
