Last week, the entire Armenian people
solemnly celebrated the 100th anniversary of the formation of the First Republic. Celebrations
traditionally took place in Sardarapat, where a hundred years ago the exhausted Armenian people
found strength in himself and defeated the Turkish army in battle. But, unfortunately, how
As the Russian proverb says, there is a fly in the ointment in the ointment. Members
Republican faction in the National Assembly made a big fuss about the fact that they were not
invited to celebrate this anniversary in Sardarapat.

“May 28 – national and statewide
holiday, and I think it’s absurd not to invite leaders to the event
legislative body.” About this
 NEWS.am said the Vice Speaker,
Press Secretary of the Republican Party of Armenia Eduard Sharmazanov, commenting
that at the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the First Republic in Sardarapat there were
13 deputies were invited, of which only 3 were from the RPA. He is echoed by the deputy of the same
faction, deputy chairman of the party Armen Ashotyan. “Today’s
the holiday is not someone else’s property, a school party, family or
personal event… It’s amazing that people who consider themselves adequate
are trying to justify the failure of the National Assembly to properly participate in today’s
festive events. Unfortunately, the deliberate approach taken
contradicts both the symbol of the day and unity, and calls for love and
solidarity,” Ashotyan noted. Thus, the legislative power in
represented by the parliamentary majority for the first time publicly opposed
executive power. And this is commendable, because we are already becoming witnesses
real separation of legislative and executive powers. Parliamentary
the majority for the first time acted as a real opponent of the executive
authorities. Why did this happen only when he came to power with his
young team Nikol Pashinyan Why hasn’t this happened at least recently?
twenty years, during which the legislative power is unquestioned, not
thinking about the consequences of these steps, she made the decisions that she signed
represented by the executive branch in the person of the president? It’s worth thinking about.

When numerous constitutions were written to please

The parliamentary majority voted “Yes” without question. they
Did they think about the interests of the state when passing this law? They understood that

Secretary of the Security Council, Minister of Defense, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Director of the National Security Service, Chief of Police, Chief
Army General Staff. In fact, there is a complete usurpation of power in the person of
Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan. He decides the fate of the whole country and everything

answer? Have the Sharmazanovs and Ashotyans thought about this? Why didn’t they raise it then?
noise and did not shout that how can you have a Security Council without a president and
Chairman of the National Assembly? Where were they when the results of the commission on the events of March 1
were released on the brakes when, as a result of the April 2016 war, we
lost about one hundred and forty military personnel and a significant part of the territories? Who’s behind it
answer? And much more. Why didn’t they say then – the people chose us and
 we have the right to demand an objective investigation of cases.

Returning to the topic. Even if Ashotyan and Sharmazanov
officially
 not invited. Let them themselves come to this holiday and stand next to them
with the Armenian people as ordinary citizens of the country. After all, they are representatives of this
people and “the people chose them,” as they like to say. Let him see
them among the people, Pashinyan himself felt embarrassed and would have invited them to the podium
and apologized for the mistake. But can they afford to do such a thing?
step by the Republicans, who are so disconnected from their people that even
now, after twenty days of work of the new government, it is not adequately
imagine what is happening in the country.
 

After the collapse of the USSR, the Communist Party was not
outlawed and was not dissolved and prosecuted for
mass crimes during the Soviet period and the genocide of its multinational
people. Perhaps, if this happened, the Republican Party of Armenia
(in fact, the legal successor of the CPSU in Armenia) there would be no chance for such
heinous crimes against their people and their homeland.
