It appears we all get the picture: the traditional conservative-liberal discourse simply does not make sense in defining Pashinyan’s ideology, and this is why we speak of aggressive centrism collapsing the dichotomy. Pashinyan remains a staunch centrist who undertakes his policy implementations and reforms aggressively.

The aggressive centrism of the Pashinyan Administration has placed emphasis on three general areas: institutionalization (which is inherently tied with the anti-corruption campaign of the government), active and neutral multilateralism in international politics, and utilizing the vast resources of the Armenian Diaspora by appealing to the soft power of Armenian Culture.

5 - In foreign affairs, assuming a posture that aggressively stipulates that Armenia is neither pro-West nor pro-Russia, neither anti-West nor anti-Russia, but rather, pro-centrist, that is, aggressively Armenia-centric.

8 - Utilizing cultural soft power by not simply appealing to the traditional and powerful Diasporan organizations but also directly appealing to the large body of Diasporan Armenians that are not part of or affiliated with such organizations. In this context, Pashinyan is aggressively seeking to establish a bridge between the single Diasporan Armenian and the homeland, as opposed to only working with the major Diasporan organizations.

https://www.azatutyun.am/a/29125260.html Interviewed by “Haykakan Zhamanak,” opposition leader Nikol Pashinian defends his decision in 2015 not to campaign against President Serzh Sarkisian’s controversial constitutional changes that eventually enabled the latter to prolong his rule. Pashinian insists that now is a better time to fight against Sarkisian’s continued rule. “We are capable of organizing a struggle and creating a platform for the people and winning,” he says. “If there is an expression of popular will, it will be easier to effect regime change under the current constitution than the previous one. Why? Because Serzh Sarkisian will not be president during the political processes envisioned by us.”

Վստահ եմ, որ ժողովուրդը մեկ մարդու պես թիկունք կկանգնի իր ամենաարժանավոր զավակներից մեկին, եւ հանգիստ չի գտնի՝ մինչեւ Նիկոլն ու մնացյալ քաղբանտարկյալները տուն չվերադառնան։ http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:S4tA6cHkCncJ:www.levonpresident.am/%3FcatID%3D20%26contID%3D445+&cd=17&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=am
