Fresh from Bashing Opponents, Pashinyan to Beat Drums in Upcoming Concert

Aside from the organizational issues, Pashinyan further mentioned that at the moment he is not “psychologically ready” to perform for large audiences. However, he noted that in case the concert is a success, they will continue hosting such events across Armenia.

Drumming appears to be a new passion for Pashinyan, judging by his social media posts. Beyond official announcements, he regularly shares glimpses of his daily life online, including his hobbies.

In recent months, Pashinyan has shared short videos of himself listening to a variety of music in locations ranging from his home and office in Yerevan to hotels in different capitals he visits. His playlists span from Armenian folk music to Eminem. Many of the videos have gone viral, attracting significant attention from both inside the country and abroad.

Pashinyan’s apparently newfound affinity for the drums is not just limited to his personal life — his hobby also has spilled over into politics.

In a video shared on December 27, Pashinyan and other musicians performed a song with lyrics he wrote, entitled “Real Armenia, the Republic of Armenia,” at a political assembly of his ruling Civil Contract party.

Real Armenia is a concept developed by Pashinyan and his government, insisting that Armenians must accept modern Armenia within its current borders.
