Tigran Avinyan: Some are preparing for snap Yerevan elections for reasons incomprehensible to me

Armenia – July 8 2022

For reasons incomprehensible to me, several people and mass media are intensively preparing for snap elections of the Yerevan Council of Elders. Tigran Avinyan, a board member of the ruling Civil Contract Party and former Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia, wrote this on Facebook.

“And in that context, they have come out to an undeclared ‘war’ by weaving and disseminating fabrications and manipulations on an almost daily basis, with or without a reason.

In a more active political period, I intend to reflect on some matters thoroughly, so that the manipulation does not become the truth by constantly repeating [it]. But until then, I want to recall that the next [regular] elections of the Yerevan Council of Elders are in the fall of 2023,” Avinyan added.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
