An extraordinary session is underway in the National Assembly on the initiative of the CP, there are 4 issues on the agenda, one of which concerns the parties.

According to the project presented by the CP, it is proposed that the name of the alliance of parties cannot include personal names, names of state and local self-government bodies, or confusingly similar names and their shapes. The name of the alliance of parties may not contain words or other expressions of an offensive or defamatory nature.

 Public-politician Mikael Nahapetyan by definition, the government in Armenia adapts the law to itself.

“The legislation is written based on political expediency, they change the rules of the game just 2 months before the elections. In today’s special session of the National Assembly, the members of the CP protested against us, “I am against everyone”. That’s why I don’t rule out that at some point the law will be regulated in such a way that we will not be allowed to participate in the elections or they will set a precondition for name change. The rules of the game are adjusted to the wishes of the ruling party.” 168.amMikayel Nahapetyan said in a conversation with

According to him, the government will not have the opportunity to create problems for others only with names, because political associations have the opportunity to rebrand their names.

“We have discussed some things in this context, at the moment it is not relevant, because the party is already registered. Therefore, I don’t see the need to update the scenarios, to think, we have done that “homework” in the past about what we will do in which case.

Excluding personal names in the name of the parties is a petty mischief, they just saw that the other party has political branding, they are planning, they want to make it so that a need for rebranding arises. There is no serious, structural obstacle here. I repeat, they are doing petty mischief, they could have gone, torn or scratched the type on their competitor’s bus, or punctured the wheel so that they could not drive in the morning. Now, they do such acts not by trained hooligans, but by members of the National Assembly, but the essence does not change from this, one thing is that they are car door breakers,” Mikayel Nahapetyan added.

As for Nikol Pashinyan’s statements on the eve of the elections, that if “KP does not become the government, then there will be a war”, Mikayel Nahapetyan said that this is blackmail against the Armenian people.

“Nikol Pashinyan conveys Aliyev’s ultimatum to us, that we must have a leader, and that leader is Nikol Pashinyan. Moreover, this is a very direct ultimatum that what Ilham Aliyev wants should be done, because if we go to the field of comments, what he means, then I can say that, apart from him, there is Hayk Marutyan, who welcomed the August 8 announcement on August 9.

That person does not want to renegotiate any point in the given contract, he agrees with everything. Now, if Hayk Marutyan is elected, will there be a war, if not, then Nikol Pashinyan is a liar, if so, then this does not mean anything other than that he is an agent of Azerbaijan. This is not a question of political course, because if it was a question of political course, I say Hayk Marutyan welcomed the statement of August 8,” emphasized Mikayel Nahapetyan.
