A prominent Armenian political figure has publicly challenged an opponent to a live, televised debate, escalating a long-running political confrontation.
The challenge comes amid ongoing political tensions, with the politician emphasizing the need for direct confrontation under equal conditions. The invitation specifically calls for discussions without prepared talking points or scripted responses, suggesting a preference for spontaneous political discourse.
In strongly worded comments, the politician questioned the opponent’s qualifications and moral standing, drawing sharp contrasts with other world leaders while expressing discomfort with being photographed alongside the rival during previous encounters.
The repeated challenge for direct debate—now reportedly extended for the tenth time—highlights the persistent nature of this political conflict and the apparent reluctance of one side to engage in unscripted public discussion.
The situation reflects broader political dynamics within the country, where public debates have become increasingly significant in shaping political narratives and voter perceptions ahead of potential electoral contests.
