In the “Pressing” program Satik Seyranyan The guest is Ruben Mkhitaryan, head of the “My Powerful Community” faction of the Gyumri Council of Elders, public figure, producer. is.

The main theses of the interview are below.

• The government aimed to reproduce itself, for this it received all possible “dabros” from the superpowers to use repression against the opposition and to rig elections, and it did. Nikol Pashinyan and his team pocketed the vote. In 30 years, we have seen many elections, for example, in 1996, but we have not seen that the counting of votes is stopped at night, it is said that it will be in the morning, and in the morning clearly different numbers are presented… If what the CP did in this election, 10% of it was done in the past, we would have seen a rebellious political society, statements of European ambassadors and reports of the Council of Europe.…

• At night, during Nikol Pashinyan’s press conference at 2 o’clock, the faces of the CP members testified that there had been shouting inside before that. Nicole held a press conference to provide the emotional backdrop for the morning’s mockery.

• Former member of the National Assembly: 2021 during the elections, the number of invalid ballots was about 4,000, and now it is about 17,000. In other words, with this shameful number, Nikol wants to say that so many of our people do not know how to vote…

• There are videos of how in Meghri the doors are not closed, the soldiers gathered in the courtyard enter and vote for hours. It is obvious that the soldiers in the army, being under specific pressure, voted for Nikol Pashinyan.

• When entering the voting, there was a case with my relative, when the person giving the ballots recognized that the given voter was in the opposition, they gave two or 17 ballots, or other… All possible frauds were made to consider these elections as illegitimate.

• The opposition this time gathered 100,000 more votes than in 2021, and Nikol gathered 40,000 more votes in 5 years.

• Nikoli needed 64 mandates in order to collect 3/5 of the votes and be able to appoint important positions. IF “Prosperous Armenia” (PAP) had passed, it would not have received so many mandates, but would have received only 61 mandates. In case of 64 mandates, it can adopt constitutional laws. He needs 6 more for a constitutional majority.

It should be noted that according to the RA Constitution, at least 3/5 of the votes of the total number of deputies is necessary for the adoption of constitutional laws, including the adoption/amendment of the Law on the Regulations of the National Assembly, the Electoral Code, the Judicial Code, the Law on the Constitutional Court, the Law on the Referendum, the Law on Parties, and the Law on the Defender of Human Rights. 

Without 3/5, the CP of Nikol Pashinyan cannot elect or dismiss the judges of the Constitutional Court, the Court of Cassation, the members of the Supreme Judicial Council. 

Without 3/5, the CP cannot elect or dismiss the Prosecutor General, the Defender of Human Rights.

He cannot elect or dismiss the members of the Central Electoral Commission, the members of the Television and Radio Commission, the members of the Audit Chamber, the President of the Central Bank.

Moreover, if the CP has 3/5 of the votes, it is not enough to make amendments to the Constitution or put the fundamental articles of the Constitution to a referendum.

Nor can Nikol Pashinyan and Ilham Aliyev change the RA Constitution through a referendum or adopt a new Constitution, change the preamble and remove the reference to the Declaration of Independence. Without 2/3 of the parliamentary votes, the ruling party, the Communist Party, cannot put to a referendum the amendments to the fundamental articles of the Constitution, which also refers to the preamble of the Constitution.

• The opposition must go after their mandates, enter the National Assembly and give up their mandates, otherwise Nikol’s chief prosecutor will go after them one by one. Nicole engaged in voice pickpocketing to solve her minimal problem.

• Nikol said that he will take 700,000 votes, and he took that much. He did not announce that number by accident. Even before the Gyumri elections, he announced that he would win 17,000 votes. The large participation of people mixed their playing cards in Gyumri and in these elections. If 1,200,000 people participated, he would get a stable majority. Yes, we have law enforcement agencies that report to Nicole every now and then where their constituents are, and they go and find them. those people…

• Opposition leaders, don’t repeat the mistake of 2021. Get in touch with your constituents, own the mandates, take them and put them down:

• It is obvious that in Armenia, if you remove the administrative resource, Nikol Pashinyan is at the weakest level of support.

• Dear Samvel Karapetyan, Robert Kocharyan, Gagik Tsarukyan, you will be seated. And you sat down, people from your teams will take you, as soon as you entered the National Assembly. You’re enabling him to kidnap people. And it’s not like everyone in your lists is invulnerable and tough. After 10 days, there will be apathetic moods in your teams. Those people will be lost, you may not even find them… The movie is just starting. You have managed to get so many votes and own your votes in all this ugliness, now it’s your turn to do the rest:

• If it stays like this, in 5 years the map that Nicole stuck on his dosh will be reduced to the size of a hat brooch.

• If they only want a mandate to hand over peredach to political prisoners, I promise, I will take everything upon myself, people in detention centers will be safe, they will not starve. But I have seen the activities of the opposition members of our parliament in the last 5 years. Dear opposition, don’t take away the next 5 years from us. 

• The opposition forces, including Arman Tatoyan and Hayk Marutyan, managed to generate a significant number of votes. It is obvious that the leader of the opposition is Samvel Karapetyan. You have done a great job, I will bear your pain, stand up for your votes.
