Yesterday, on April 19, Nikol Pashinyan went on tour to Gyumri with his team, “leader band”. Nikol Pashinyan was accompanied this time by Anna Hakobyan, who recently announced on Facebook through a video that she and Nikol Pashinyan were divorced.
Nikol Pashinyan’s concert in Gyumri’s Vardanants Square had a special title: “Voice of Peace”.
Gyumret businessman Gevorg Avagyan I am sure that no matter how much Nikol Pashinyan has concerts in Gyumri, he came to power by walking from Gyumri, and he will leave power from Gyumri itself.
“Pashinyan will start from Gyumri and finish from Gyumri, he will be thrown out of the political field. He did so many things, he has nothing more to do, the people of Gyumri have already expressed their will through the elections.
He got up yesterday and came to Gyumri with his teammates, administrative resources, police forces, some of them were in civilian clothes, but only a part of the square was filled. In other words, if Nikol Pashinyan did not bring people with him, very few people from Gyumri would go to the square. Nikol Pashinyan brought his audience with him from Yerevan.” 168.amGevorg Avagyan said in a conversation with
Continuing, our interlocutor said, with Nikol Pashinyan there were such persons who were by the side of those authorities during different governments: during the ARF, they were with them, during the RPA, they were their “shoppers”.
“Well, such people are ready for anything for the sake of money and position, moreover, these people always exist and will always exist, at all times. They are only interested in the day, they don’t think about having a homeland, they don’t think about Artsakh, about not handing over the homeland, their day starts with thinking about getting a reward, who will die at the border, who will be left without a home, they don’t care, the important thing is that their women can wear a kabluq. This mass was at Pashinyan’s concert, I am glad that the people of Gyumri showed their position yesterday.
Nikol Pashinyan lost in Gyumri in the elections, and even after the change of power, they were unable to form a government in our city. Do you remember that after the disaster of 2020, the community heads of Syunik demanded Pashinyan’s resignation, but I don’t know where they stuck their tails and kept quiet, they turned away from themselves, but that didn’t happen in Gyumri, they stand united here,” Gevorg Avagyan added.
He is sure that he will say “no” to Nikol Pashinyan during the June 7 elections.
Our interlocutor also added that yesterday was the opening of “North-South” to Gyumri-Yerevan, but that “North-South” has not even reached Gyumri, it ends in the part of Beniamin village, it is 15 km before reaching Gyumri, it will not even enter Gyumri, but it will go around and pass through the Akhuryan administrative area. It turns out that Nikol Pashinyan was trying to win over the people of Gyumri in this way, but it didn’t work.
“According to the rumors hanging in the air, dismissals are expected in Gyumri in this regard, because Vardanants square was not able to be filled with people at the level of the governor. Rumors are circulating that the governor may be forced to resign.
We are ready for any struggle, our will is unbreakable, we say that we cannot be friends with the Turks, they want to arrest and detain us, we will say our word. No one can silence us, we are not members of any party and we do not depend on anyone, anyone among the opposition who will do a pro-national act and will not stand by Nikol, we will be with him. But if we find out that someone from the opposition will stand by Nikol Pashinyan, we will fight against him as we fight against Nikol Pashinyan. I mean, those who are in “games”, we will expose them, so I take this opportunity to tell you to stand back before it’s too late.
I repeat, Nikol Pashinyan will not get a vote in Gyumri, even his administrative resources will not help him to at least overcome the temporary threshold. Yesterday Vardanants square is an example, we have an “Axe” near us, if he had invited a concert, I think more people would have come. Even the employees of the governor’s office were ashamed to go to the concert with their family members, there are some who did not go. Well, even the people in office understand that the chair under Nikol is “broken”, the foot of the chair is missing,” emphasized the businessman from Gyumri.
