Narek Karapetyan, a member of the political council of the “Strong Armenia” party, writes on his Facebook page:

“Every time I gave an interview to foreign media, I always said that Armenia is historically a democratic country, so as not to spoil the reputation of my country in the eyes of foreigners.

Even after the many illegalities done to us, we said that our country is “democratic”.

Today, the force passed by the people’s vote to the National Assembly, which would help us ensure our struggle against Aliyev’s constitution, against Aliyev’s plans, was simply removed from the National Assembly without explanation, despite the direct decision of the court.

The whole weight of the struggle is left on us.

Do we have the right to concede?

NO.

It will be difficult, it will be unfair, but did dictators like you travel? Nationwide, we will defeat the dictator who has lost the soul of a small group!”
