The brutality with which Pashinyan conducts the campaign, violating the laws, is due to the fact that he is afraid of defeat. There is a big gray cardinal in these elections, the 50% of the electorate that is still undecided. Pashinyan is afraid that in the last days all these people will turn against him, go and vote. He is afraid of a large turnout. Political forces do not fight for opinions. One force is fighting so that few people go to the elections, only its followers, other forces are fighting so that many people go to the elections. 168TVof « expressed such an opinion during the program Former RA Prime Minister Hrant Bagratyan.
“The participation index will be the key topic of these elections. Violating all laws, Pashinyan is trying to reproduce himself today. The problem of the opposition should be to explain that if he is re-elected, there will be no Armenia after that, but Pashinyan will be personally saved, because after being elected, he will, of course, hand over Armenia completely to Azerbaijan and Turkey,” said the politician.
“Alen Simonyan recently returned from Turkey and said: Azerbaijan prevents us from making friends with Turkey. That person is absolutely unacceptable as a statesman, but even he implies and admits that they are not right.
It is certain that Pashinyan would have called him after that and said bitter words, saying, “Why are you saying such things, give me hope that everything is fine?” Nothing is good. He wrote the word peace, drew a heart, but there is no contract. If it is signed by some miracle, there is no guarantee in terms of the territorial integrity of the Republic of Armenia,” Bagratyan noted.
According to the opposition figure, there are currently two forces that are open opposition, that is, they are talking about removing Pashinyan from power and punishing him after coming to power.
“They are Samvel Karapetyan’s “Strong Armenia” and Robert Kocharyan’s “Armenia” blocs. Other forces do not talk about this.
For example, one force says: we will do it in a way that will be good for all of us, but this is not a political approach. Can the political force take part in the election and say that we will do it in such a way that it will be bad for all of us? Maybe we should thank CP that there are no false promises and that they will do what they say. Under these conditions, when the country was taken out of the security system, and our opponent is in the security system, what kind of peace will there be? There is no peace in the world.”
“If there are two neighboring countries, one weak and the other strong, who will protect you?” Macron announced the other day that they will not do anything for Armenia. Let’s thank him because, unlike Clemenceau, who made promises of a state to the Armenians of Cilicia a hundred years ago, Macron clearly says: don’t be fooled. He has such problems with Turkey that he will never allow himself to even make a proper statement about Armenia,” said Hrant Bagratyan.
