In this episode of Conversations on Groong, we speak with Dziunik Aghajanian about the 2026 US midterm elections, Iran’s red lines, and Armenia’s constitutional crisis. We discuss how Democratic gains in Congress may affect TRIPP, Iran’s opposition to transit corridors near its borders, Pashinyan’s push for a new constitution without sufficient parliamentary support, and the opposition’s consolidation against what they view as an Azerbaijani-imposed constitutional framework.

We examine the tightening political climate in Armenia ahead of the June 2026 parliamentary elections, analyzing Marco Rubio’s sudden visit, new polling data showing stark divergences between IRI and MPG, hidden voter patterns that may reveal concealed opposition support, TRIPP polarization, escalating arrests and threats against opposition figures, and Pashinyan’s incendiary campaign rhetoric including his ‘Why are you alive?’ outburst. Arthur Khachatryan of Hayastan Dashinq discusses Armenia’s June 7 parliamentary election, foreign interference, election fraud concerns, the opposition platform, TRIPP, military spending claims, and Russia’s economic pressure on Armenia.
