The people will rise up against the background of social discontent… I dread to think that

“During the pre-election period preceding the national elections in Armenia, such processes took place that are incompatible with our legal system and justice. There is some kind of legal chaos in the country, certainly these processes had their impact on the results of the elections.” 168.amG said in a conversation withformer Supreme Council deputy Mekhak Mkhitaryantalking about the results of the national elections, the prevailing sentiments among the public and the prerequisites for the change of power.

According to him, mass arrests, groundless accusations against opposition figures and their supporters in the elections gave the result that everyone witnessed. The fact that hundreds of people without legal documents were detained and arrested already spoke of such a result. Therefore, the holding of elections in that atmosphere should have given the image that exists today.

“We could not record any other result than the authorities’ so-called “Pyrosian victory”, added Mekhak Mkhitaryan.

According to him, at this stage, there are still no prerequisites for a change of power, constitutionalism is dead in Armenia today, the Constitution has been turned into a document, which is a shame to talk about.

“The constitution has been turned into a document in agony, which does not preserve or protect people’s rights and wishes in any way. The structure called the Constitutional Court has become a one-man tool of the monarchy, which is used only against the opposition and common sense. Today, the Constitution is in no way able to maintain the normal course of our country, both in foreign and domestic politics, it does not provide any guarantee. I don’t see any legal way for that today.

As for the street fight, here too the government continues to maintain the atmosphere of fear and terror through the system called justice. It turns out that solving the issues in this country in any fair way becomes impossible. That’s why I’m in a pessimistic mood and I don’t think that any kind of struggle, be it a street struggle or in the National Assembly, can give results,” our interlocutor added.

The former deputy of the Central Committee noted that in the field of foreign policy, the Armenian nation is facing very serious trials in the near future, there may also be developments related to the economic restrictions of the Russian Federation, which may cause the anger of the Armenian people.

“The people will rise against the background of social dissatisfaction, perhaps, on the basis of social dissatisfaction, outbreaks and mass uprisings may occur in the fall. Otherwise, suppressing this or that opposition force, such an attitude towards the leader of the opposition force as was shown towards Gagik Tsarukyan, will not change anything, and we do not know what will be done to the others in the near future.

Only in the background of social discontent will that wave rise. In other words, there is a possibility of that social riot due to the increase in gas and light rents, I do not rule out that sanctions will be applied by the Russian Federation to the nuclear power plant. Or, for example, in connection with the transportation of burnt uranium, which is carried out by Russia.

I am even horrified to think that these sanctions may come into force. What will happen if, for example, they stop the supply of uranium or the transportation of burnt uranium to appropriate places, and it suddenly remains in Armenia? I myself was the head of the construction of the nuclear power plant, I know the subtleties,” Mekhak Mkhitaryan emphasized.
