“The opposition once again ran away from the truth, ran away from the substantive discussion, and it was very honest, sincere. I think it deserved applause,” answering the journalist’s question, the deputy of the Civil Contract Faction Vahagn Aleksanyan said during the parliamentary briefings on May 5.
According to the Secretary of the NA Civil Contract Faction Artur Hovhannisyan, in case of all possible phenomena, the opposition members try to devalue what is possible. “We have not welcomed the opposition, we do not welcome any action of the opposition and any opposition figure after all this,” Artur Hovhannisyan said in connection with the same question.
Answering the question on what was the content of what the Prime Minister said, he noted that Nikol Pashinyan will say what he has to say, looking into the eyes of the opposition.
Artur Hovhannisyan is sure that the purpose of the opposition is not to save Artsakh, the purpose of the opposition is the transition of a power. “There are calls, toasts, speeches about the salvation of Artsakh. However, people cannot save Artsakh by displaying flags in the streets of Yerevan. They have a different purpose,” the Secretary of the Civil Contract Faction said.
