Suren Papikyan, you are a minister, why didn’t you die, and the boys of Azat shelter?

“Suren Papikyan, can you explain why you didn’t die? Can you explain why 15 of our soldiers who died in a fire in the shelter died?” Arman Tatoyan, candidate for Prime Minister of the “Wings of Unity” party, said about this in a conversation with journalists today, referring to the course of the pre-election campaign.

Arman Tatoyan mentioned that there is a need to summarize the pre-election campaign of these two weeks and the shameful situation that has been created. According to his assessment, an atmosphere of fear and hatred has been created, it seems that there is a race for resources from all sides. And against this background, according to him, it turns out that a person has to make a choice in favor of foreign powers: Moscow, Brussels, Baku, Washington. According to Tatoyan, no one is talking about what Armenia needs, what the elections in Armenia should be like.

Arman Tatoyan believes that the authorities have become masters of fear-mongering and spreading hatred and deception.

According to him, the authorities are trying to position themselves as defenders of democracy and human rights, but such a scheme has been created that spreads fear among people, spreads threats, both personal and the threat of war.

According to Tatoyan, that situation is constantly being developed and maintained, because the entire campaign is based on it, and it has spread throughout the country.

“Instead of being more united, everything is based on division and enmity,” emphasized the politician.

Tatoyan also mentioned that all this is happening under the veil of democracy. He recalled the controversial recording he released last week.

“I clearly showed that there is a scheme, using the example of the Armavir State Regional College, we showed that students and professors who are compliant, at a high level, are being forced to go to the pre-election gatherings of the government. And what, until now nothing, no reaction, I mentioned specific names, we presented it with a report about the crime,” said Arman Tatoyan.

In his assessment, law enforcement bodies work in sync with the government.

According to the politician, this government has turned death into a cult, they are talking about the recent deaths of soldiers and people, they are saying, “Why didn’t you die during the war?”

“How can the RA Prime Minister be happy or say: justify why you were not killed? On the contrary, shouldn’t he be happy that people were not killed, they remained alive, everyone’s life is valuable. And the Minister of Defense, look what he is doing, behaving like a puppy, speaking with “Ara” and saying on live TV: justify why you were not killed.

Can you explain why you didn’t die? Can you explain why 15 of our soldiers who died as a result of a fire in the shelter died? They died because of the minister appointed by the prime minister, Suren Papikyan, and also because of the commanders chosen by him. If you are the Minister of Defense, the function of the minister is to organize the war in such a way that as few people as possible are killed, not to rejoice or say, “Why weren’t you killed?” During Stalin’s time, people returning from the front took people for questioning and punishment, this is the same Stalinism,” Tatoyan expressed this opinion.
