“We must record that the election results were falsified in the post-election phase. In order not to allow the political force that passed the temporary threshold and received enough votes to enter the parliament, a process of invalidating the election results of the polling stations was carried out, as a result of which the CP is usurping the power reserved for 3/5.” of 168.am Mikael Nahapetyan, a member of the “I’m against everyone” party and a public figure, said in a conversation with the results of the June 7 elections in Armenia and what to do next.
He mentioned that in this context, he is not talking about how the KP managed to get the right to form the executive power, because the pre-election phase was also conducted with gross violations of electoral, criminal and administrative laws.
As for the rumors that the opposition forces that passed the National Assembly should give up their mandates, Mikayel Nahapetyan said that there is legal uncertainty here, that is, it is not clear what will happen when they give up their mandates. There is a reasonable assumption that the government will receive such an interpretation through the Constitutional Court, which is politically most convenient for it.
“But I don’t want to be guided by the model of “KP’s inadu” that, if we do this, then CP will go after some solutions that are beneficial to it. It is necessary to start from the essence of the question, what will the opposition members in the National Assembly do during the 5 years and make a decision accordingly. I am not calling the opposition to take or not to take the mandates. When I participated in the elections, both I and my political force clearly determined that after passing the temporary threshold, if we will not be able to implement our agendas, then we will not remain as deputies.
I think it will be good if others are guided by that logic, they can make their own political decisions and take responsibility for it,” Mikayel Nahapetyan added.
Regarding Nikol Pashinyan’s statement that “if they don’t agree with the results of the elections, they can go to the streets”, our interlocutor said that at the moment he does not see the potential of the streets, that potential should be formed through opposition work.
“My friends who will agree with me, we are going to undertake this kind of work, it is in this context that I say let people make a decision and take responsibility for it.
I am skeptical that it is possible to lead changes while sitting in the parliament. Nikol Pashinyan’s goal is power and only power, the rest is derived from it. And he will not dictate the street, the street will exist when there is a force with a plan, will and infrastructure to go out into the street,” emphasized Mikayel Nahapetyan.
