`HAK is the only opposition in Armenia’

09:05 pm | Today | Politics

“The Armenian National Congress (HAK) is the only opposition in the
country, I repeat-the only opposition,” ex-Prime Minister Hrant
Bagratyan declared several times during the rally today. He noted that
he was supposed to be doing something else now, but instead, he was
thinking of “how Serzh Sargsyan tricked everyone”, including the
observers.

Bagratyan presented an analysis of the figures and said the number of
voters was exaggerated.

He viewed the counting process as immoral and was surprised to see how
the so-called observers from Europe, the United States, Russia and the
local amoeba sociologists accepted those machinations.

“Don’t intervene, let this country develop. I could care less about
what those observers accept or don’t accept. If there was someone man
enough among those observers, he would ask Serzh Sargsyan how was it
possible to have as many voters as the population,” said Bagratyan.

Hrant Bagratyan said he considered himself guilty for the fact that
Serzh Sargsyan was still in power and promised that a couple of people
in parliament would be suffice “to make Serzh Sargsyan ask for
forgiveness from the people on his knees”.

Chairman of the Armenian Pan-National Movement (HHSh) Aram Manukyan
announced that even though the HAK will be in parliament, its platform
will still be Freedom Square.
Manukyan also noted that nobody should blame those who took electoral
bribes and voted for the government.

“We shouldn’t blame the people. They were forced to do that. However,
we shouldn’t rely on them to keep our country. We have to rely on the
struggling citizens, the 200,000 citizens that trusted us, and that
trust is worth more than a mandate. Dear people, you are the ones
fighting for freedom in this country. We must fight to keep you with
faith and keep you in this country. Don’t dare leave the country,”
said Aram Manukyan.
