The Republican Party proposes to clarify the rules of the game with all opposition forces at this very moment, in order to avoid possible situations hindering the nomination of a united opposition candidate during the post-election processes. About this 168 TVof Revue mentioned on the air of the program RPA Council member Levon Nazaryanclarifying that it is about the signing of the memorandum proposed by the third president of the Republic of Armenia, the chairman of the RPA, Serzh Sargsyan.
The member of the RPA council reminded that Serzh Sargsyan had proposed that the candidates included in the first three dozen of the pre-election lists of the opposition forces participating in the NA elections should sign a corresponding memorandum, assuming a moral obligation not to cooperate with the regime and not to leave the opposition field.
“Let’s imagine the following situation: the opposition forces have entered the parliament, Samvel Karapetyan at that moment still has no chance to become the prime minister due to the constitutional regulations, let’s assume that the favorite is Narek Karapetyan, and the honorable Second President can say, right? “I have the moral right to insist that you choose me as the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia at this moment, taking into account my irrevocable merit in the establishment of the state, even though I am not the leader of the leading opposition force with votes.” If suddenly this problem or this situation arises, how will we orient ourselves in this regard? Will that be an excuse for the opposition forces not being able to unite and send this government home after June 7? This example is just an imaginary example, but in order for us to avoid this situation, we suggest that we clarify the rules of the game with all the opposition forces right now, and that the rules of the game should be in the form of an opposition declaration, which will be signed by all the forces participating in the elections, so that the scenario of the Yerevan Council of Elders elections will not be repeated in the future,” explains Levon Nazaryan.
The representative of the Republican Party emphasizes that the RPA has an action plan, but it is not correct to talk about it in advance on the air. Levon Nazaryan stressed that despite the decision not to directly participate in the June 7 elections, the RPA will not leave the trenches of the political struggle.
According to Nazaryan’s political assessment, the actions of the current authorities and continuous repressions against the opponents and especially the national forces are, in short, manifestations of weakness and fear, with which this government wants to cement its own power out of fear of losing it.
“They understand very well that the only destination or end point after losing power is responsibility before history and the court. “I assume that the political force “Strong Armenia” or Samvel Karapetyan’s alliance understands what weight it has entered under and for what mission, and the people included in the list and not only those whom we know a part of, are confident that they will be able to overcome these pressures in order to achieve the final victory,” says Nazaryan.
The republican figure states: represented by “Strong Armenia”. The 5-point economic plan maybe it’s attractive for someone, someone else might not like those points, but it’s a secondary issue, the primary task of the opposition is to support the force led by Samvel Karapetyan in order to overcome the ontological threats facing the state under his leadership. Levon Nazaryan considers the criticism of the representatives of the ruling camp to be frivolous, evaluating the Armenian billionaire as one of the benefactors of the Armenian nation and comparing him to Poghos Nubar Pasha (1851-1930), Galust Gulbenkyan (1869-1955), Kirk Kerkorian (1917-2015), Alek Manukyan. (1901-1996) with.
Levon Nazaryan also added. “Samvel Karapetyan is the person who only provided support to the Republic of Armenia, including in the form of finances. Perhaps people have not forgotten the “Electric Yerevan” demonstrations, the processes that followed it, the processes related to military equipment, weapons and ammunition, which is closed information, but being closed information, the weapon that was bought with Samvel Karapetyan’s money for the safety of our compatriots of Artsakh, your government handed over to the enemy. Samvel Karapetyan, as a national philanthropist, funded the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Artsakh to have weapons and ammunition, those weapons and ammunition were there, some of them were shown in Baku during the military parade, and the other part, as a strategist, was handed over to the enemy by your government.”
In this context, referring to yesterday’s incident, the arrest of Gohar Ghumashyan and Verzhine Stepanyan, members of the “Strong Armenia” party, Levon Nazaryan advises the authorities to read literature, noting that when they go to arrest the mother of a two-month-old newborn child, they should understand that it will work against them purely from the perspective of archetypes.
Expressing his opinion, Putin-Pashinyan, which took place in the Kremlin on April 1 meeting and answering the question: why Nikol Pashinyan hastily went to Moscow to meet the President of the Russian Federation, and what message was he sending to the public by his statement that a new meeting with Putin is planned for the second half of June, Levon Nazaryan presented a tentative proposal to the “usurper of power” in connection with the bill passed in Russia a few days ago, which criminalizes the years 1941-45. the denial of the genocide committed by fascist Germany against the Soviet peoples. In connection with this law, Levon Nazaryan reminds about Emin Rasulzadeh, who collaborated with the Nazis, whose statues are erected in the parks of Baku.
“Emin Rasulzadeh is known for the fact that he cooperated with fascist Germany, he created the Azerbaijani Legion, which bloodily suppressed the Polish uprising against the fascist troops in order to meet the Soviet liberation army. Now, based on the logic of this adopted law, dear boy, go, when are you going, what June are you going to go, go and raise that question, tell me, does this person with his historical past and actions completely fall under the logic of the adopted law, I ask you, Vladimir Vladimirovich, to put pressure on Ilham Aliyev so that the statue of Emin Rasulzadeh is removed from Baku. Can he do it or can’t he do it,” added the member of the RPA council.
