Opposition Reviving Armenia Party Chairman Vahe Hakobyan, an MP candidate of the Armenia bloc, on Tuesday slammed caretaker Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan for taking with him over 1,500 police officers and special equipment to Syunik Province for election campaign rallies.
“Have you noticed that the flag of Armenia on the posters of the ruling party is disheveled? If they remain in power a little bit longer, there will be Turkish and Azerbaijani flags instead of the Armenian flag,” he said at a meeting with residents in the village of Avshar, recalling that June 15 is celebrated as National Flag Day.
Hakobyan stated that on this holiday Pashinyan headed to Syunik, taking with him more than 1,500 police officers and special equipment.
“Whom are you going to use this special equipment against, your people? I hoped that this army would eventually go to the Black Lake to finally drive the Azerbaijanis out of there, but no, he went with this army from Sisian to Goris, from there to Kapan, continuing to tour in Syunik,” Hakobyan said.
Addressing voters, he said that if they want their children to live in a strong and secure Armenia, they should vote for the Armenia alliance on June 20, since the members of the bloc have the “necessary will, skills and knowledge.”
