Today, the chairman of the “Enlightened Armenia” party, Nikol Pashinyan, former ambassador with special assignments, Edmon Marukyan once again targeted the leader of the RPA, the 3rd president of the Republic of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, calling him “Nikol Pashinyan’s lawyer”.
Eduard Sharmazanov, member of the RPA Executive Body, former vice-chairman of the National Assembly, published a video in response to Edmon Marukyan.
“For 7-8 years, the society, my close friends and colleagues asked me a question, they said: have you communicated with Edmon Marukyan, have you worked with him? Is he Nikol Pashinyan’s political trap, the political six, is he Nikol Pashinyan’s six and a mine in the opposition field. I have refrained, given the full range of circumstances. But today Edmon crossed all the red lines. No more, no less, like others, he says: Nikol Pashinyan’s lawyer is Serzh Sargsyan.
Are you talking about Nikol Pashinyan’s advocacy… You, who were Nikol’s special ambassador, and there was no hole that you did not defend, because you justified the handover of Lachin, Susi, Aghavno…
Didn’t you say, Edmond, there is no negotiation? We had coffee with Nikol Pashinyan, he convinced me.
Whenever Serzh Sargsyan’s team, led by Serzh Sargsyan, did not come home from the streets and fight, was caught, detained, you received bonuses from Nikol Pashinyan, do it. And you are not ashamed, are you talking like this now?
You behave like a political trap. At that time, Nikol was using you as a political trap, and now others? At that time, you received instructions from Nikol, and now from others? You are a mine in the opposition.
And one thing… don’t get between Armen Ashotyan and Serzh Sargsyan, please, don’t get between the finger and the ring to try to assert yourself now with your little mutilation. We will be crushed politically. If you are considered a political triad, act like a political triad,” said Eduard Sharmazanov.
