“The citizens who think that they are doing us a favor by voting in favor of us, in this case, they do not need to vote for us,” said the member of the “Yelq” Alliance Nikol Pashinyan at the meeting with the residents of Akhuryan village, Shirak Marz.
He mentioned that Armenia is in the pit of despair and voting in favor of other political forces, the voters deepen the pit of this despair, “I am amazed at what you are saying. A few months ago, Hovik Abrahamyan withdrew from the Republican Party. Now, tomorrow, he will go and come to say that he is an opposition. And you will tell me why you are not joining Hovik Abrahamyan, join and make one team. Tomorrow, Serzh Sargsyan will become an opposition, you say why you are not joining Serzh Sargsyan. My dear people, do you actually think that I did wrong as an opposition politician. Why had I gone to jail?
I could have held a position, sit in the office, make a statement about the withdrawal a few weeks before the elections, and in the meantime, loot as much as possible. Should I have looted to make you happy? I do not understand your logic. Now, you are saying to me why I have not joined the people who have brought Serzh Sargsyan to power and who were in power with Serzh Sargsyan, have looted with Serzh Sargsyan. Whom should we join? Whom you think that they should join, go and vote for them, my dear people. Go and vote for them so that they will loot you again. I have no problems and do not think that we have come to you to beg for your vote. If you do not want to vote for us, go and vote for them. This is the country that they created.”
Nikol Pashinyan continued, “Now, we have passed all this, you say why Serzh does not kill you, the fact that you are alive, so you are not an opposition. Then, gather money to hire a killer to shoot and that’s it. Are you teasing, generally?”
