The deepening post-war crisis and the increasing tensions have made many ruling party members leave their posts. Within the past few months, multiple parliament members have left the ruling \u2018My Step\u2019 faction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While many would think that those still making part of the authorities won\u2019t like to be a part of it for the second term, the electoral list of Pashinyan\u2019s<\/strong> party proves the opposite. The authorities that have lost the war, continue to deepen the internal problems of the country, and even fail to solve such urgent issues as returning the Armenian prisoners of war still have loyal team members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly or not, the caretaker prime minister Nikol Pashinyan\u2019s electoral list contains lots of familiar names. The list of the \u2018Civil Contract\u2019 party, headed by Pashinyan has one hundred names many of which are those who are in the parliament at present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Pashinyan\u2019s support team has not been very stable recently, a few members of the \u2018Civil Contract\u2019 party seem to show unconditional support to the caretaker PM despite his declining reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ararat Mirzoyan\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ararat Mirzoyan comes second in the electoral list of Nikol Pashinyan\u2019s party. Mirzoyan is one of the founding members of the \u2018Civil Contract\u2019 political party. Being one of the faces of the 2018 Velvet Revolution, it was not surprising that Mirzoyan was appointed the president of the National Assembly of Armenia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ararat Mirozyan\u2019s political career is not long and influential. Before being appointed the president of the parliament, Mirzoyan ran under the \u2018Way Out\u2019 alliance during the 2017 parliamentary elections. One of the leaders of this alliance was Nikol Pashinyan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to his involvement in politics, Ararat Mirzoyan worked in various areas. For a certain period of time, Mirzoyan worked at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute which is closely linked to a recent scandal involving him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier in 2021, a handwritten letter was leaked according to which Ararat Mirzoyan agrees to become an NSS (National Security Service) agent. According to the source introducing the letter, Mirzoyan was pressured <\/em>to become an NSS agent after NSS had discovered that he was spying for Turkey.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
