Verelq: Acting Prime Minister’s expressions are manifestations of hate speech. RPA headquarters

A number of expressions made by the acting Prime Minister yesterday and today are the most obvious manifestations of hate speech, which cross all permissible limits of political struggle, as well as violate a number of human and moral principles, for example, targeting a woman.

This was stated in the message released by the RPA Central pre-election headquarters. “Such behavior is unprecedented in our political culture, especially by a high-ranking official, namely the prime minister responsible for the safety and well-being of all of us.

In our statement, we had the occasion to refer to the abuse of administrative resources by the acting prime minister, one outstanding example of which is that, while officially on vacation, the acting prime minister used to issue threats to elected officials and, in fact, gave the police instructions for mandatory execution.

We invite the attention of the Central Electoral Commission, the Defender of Human Rights and international observation missions to the speeches, behavior and rhetoric of the acting Prime Minister”, – said in the statement of the Central Election Headquarters of the RPA.

Nikol Pashinyan, the leader of the “My Step” alliance in Spitak, addressed the criticisms directed at Sasun Mikayelyan, the candidate of the same alliance, during the campaign, in particular, those criticisms. “Sasun Mikayelyan’s body has an “askolka” equal to your weight. The size of your weight. Who are you defending the Artsakh liberation war from? You, who for many years not only watched and led the looting of the army, but now you want to protect your right to loot the army with your nails. I will not allow you,” Pashinyan declared.

Then he continued his speech, asking: “How, is there still a person in this country who dares to frighten a citizen?” We will make them all lie down on the asphalt, who are these people, what kind of republican, what kind of oligarch, what kind of fat man, what kind of muscle man, we will make you all lie down on the asphalt and you will not get up from those asphalts for years.

And now I say to the police, yes, don’t try to push anyone, don’t try to push a single criminal element, it will become a thief, it will become an authority, we will kill everyone with walls. You will put your heads on the wall, you will scare the citizen, say your names, you should not come out of the holes. Your place is in prisons, you will all end up in prisons. Whether you are a criminal, an authority figure or a thief, don’t mess with these elections, don’t try to coerce the people. Republican village heads, sit in your cabinets and work normally, don’t try to tell the citizen who to vote for. The citizen knows well who to vote for.”
