While I disliked Pashinyan in 2020, I now respect him. He had the balls to survive a devastating war, preserve Armenian democracy, challenge the narrow foreign policy view held by the country for decades, and avoid Saakashvili’s mistakes.
He even looks more like a leader nowadays. Prior to 2023, he always appeared pathetic and unimpressive.
I still have reservations about him, but he seems to have learned through trial and error, which contrasts with Aliyev’s training as a political leader or Putin’s KGB background.
