The political forces participating in the parliamentary elections expected in Armenia on June 7 are already summarizing their pre-election campaign by holding large rallies.

On the one hand, the government and the forces close to it call on the citizens to participate in the elections, on the other hand, they announce and threaten that, for example, “those coming from Russia for the opposition, who will participate in the elections, should be sent to 25-day training camps.”

The Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan first expressed such an idea the other day, and then Nikol Pashinyan’s Deputy Chief of Staff repeated it, saying: “Persons who came from Russia with election bribes will be involved in 25-day training camps.”

Singer, songwriter, freedom fighter Davit Amalyan according to him, taking into account all the actions and steps of the government, the elections expected on June 7 will be fatal.

“In these elections, the polling stations become “trenches”, we must fight one “trench battle”, and God willing, this will all end with a polling station “war”, in order to get rid of the challenges of the real enemy, because they are no longer hiding their goals.” 168.amDavit Amalyan said in a conversation with

According to him, in contrast to 2021, he sees some progress in the awakening of the people in these elections.

“The mass that does not care whether they are Turks or not, that mass has decreased. In all my interviews, I tell all indifferent people: don’t do a worse job than the opponent is doing, indifference is a more negative phenomenon in this situation. I ask everyone to go to the polling stations, if they don’t vote for someone, let them do something on that paper, if only they go,” our interlocutor added.

As for the threat of 25-day exercises by the representatives of the government, Davit Amalyan said that he does not think that such a large number of people from abroad will come to Armenia to participate in the elections.

“This statement is a great provocation, the smell of defeat has hit their noses, for that they are capable of anything. Serious people do not take this provocation seriously: standing in a trench is an honor for any man. What they did is simply immoral, because sending them to the border is not a punishment, they are the ones who do not understand anything about the boyish step of guarding the border. They do not understand that a normal Armenian came from Moscow or India to fight against the Turks, for that Armenian it is one thing: will he stand at the post for a month, for a year, or will he give his life for a friend?

Let’s hope everything will be fine,” emphasized Davit Amalyan.
