«Դասեր» հաղորդաշարի the guest Mamiko Aslanyan, the elected mayor of Vanadzor, is a member of the pre-election list of the “Strong Armenia” party.
The main theses of the interview are below.
- Unfortunately, each subsequent election of Nikol Pashinyan becomes more unprecedented with its disgrace, and the society is ready for it and will not give in to blasphemous hysterics, intimidation, and pressure of administrative resources. I assure Nikol Pashinyan that surprises await him on the night of June 7-8. People will not vote for those who intimidate them. There is much to do, no matter what the challenge.
- Vanadzor was beheaded by Nikol Pashinyan, Vanadzor has not been governed in the last 5 years, Nikol Pashinyan treated Vanadzor like a stepchild, and Vanadzor will not vote for him under any circumstances. Very few Vanadzor residents participated in his rally. Vanadzortsi was not allowed to have not only an elected mayor, but they also did not allow the council to work. Whatever they have done in Vanadzor that they show in their shows, it is either what I built or what I started and finished. For 5 years, the vote of Vanadzortsi was stolen, they were forced to come to terms with the realities that exist, for example, in North Korea:
- The residents of Vanadzor and Lori know that the programs launched by them serve only their hidden propaganda purposes.
- Whatever Nikol Pashinyan wants to say, he cannot harm Samvel Karapetyan’s activities in any way. He can make homeless those whom he has enriched, given houses and property to. All these talks are for the masses who imagine that Nikol Pashinyan can do everything. Apart from that, that speech, slang is not suitable for the prime minister.
- Nikol Pashinyan is using all the disgusting election frauds and intimidation from the 90s, which have found a place among us, according to the rumors hanging in the air. If Samvel Karapetyan had distributed a bribe, it would have been talked about in cities and villages, not only in the recordings of the Anti-Corruption Committee, while the actions of the CP are being talked about everywhere.
- There is no family in Armenia that is not affected by any provision of our program. Our program is about people. Samvel Karapetyan’s life is about human well-being, creation, and he will not back down from any promise he made. If Samvel Karapetyan is prime minister, the life of any RA citizen, be it a singer, businessman or employee in other fields, will improve.
- The next government of RA, in the person of Samvel Karapetyan, will spare no effort to remove all illegalities without launching a repressive machine. Samvel Karapetyan’s government will not hunt witches and throw the country into turmoil on a daily basis like Nikol Pashinyan. A team of professionals will be assembled, which will reveal all the corrupt schemes and looting of this government. No misdemeanor or crime should be overlooked:
- The support of the leader of any geopolitical center should not be decisive for the RA citizen, no matter where they come from, be it from the North or the West. The citizen of Armenia should make a choice based on his interest, he should choose the Armenian, the one identified with Armenianness.
- During the 8 years of this government, there has been no serious foreign investment, and Samvel Karapetyan will give guarantees that our compatriots from the Diaspora will also invest here.
- Liberalization of visas for literate, educated, accomplished people is about nothing, but what will a talentless, uneducated, uneducated person in Europe do that they are excited? What will change in their lives?
- Even before Nikol Pashinyan came to power in Armenia, in 2017, the CEPA agreement was signed, which would bring positive changes and visa liberalization.
- Europe is first of all a value system. if you talk to your opponents from morning to night with the vocabulary of Kuchi patsan, if you talk from morning to night about arresting people, if you call people robbers and thieves without a court ruling, if you fire the president of the Central Committee of the Republic of Azerbaijan with a text message, if the principle of separation of powers does not work, what kind of European value system are we talking about? There are people who do not have money for food and medicine, what for them, will visas be liberalized or not?:
- As always, Nikol Pashinyan builds his campaign on populism, and unfortunately, a part of society believes in it. We all eat perashki and kartoshka, but we do not make eating a cult. In government dachas, their cooks definitely don’t make perashki every day… Let them think that the streets of the Republic are flooded with strawberries because people can’t export their products.:
By the way, 621 million 341 thousand drams are allocated from the state budget from the pockets of ordinary citizens for the government residence of Nikol Pashinyan, who eats carrots in front of the cameras, and his family – more than 1 million 687 thousand dollars. In other words, more than 1,600,000 drams are spent daily from the state budget, from the taxpayers’ pockets, for the maintenance and feeding of their family. Who are they fooling by eating perashki and playing common man…
- The Republic of Armenia is not about perashku, barbecue, corn and kebab, but about Komitas, Mashtots, Andranik, Kerkorian and Samvel Karapetyan. Therefore, our people will find children from their bosom, who will bring the society out of this darkness and bring prosperity. Armenianness is not about culinary sophistication, but about struggle and quality, church and hymns, millennia.
- The June 7 elections are about the existence of Armenians, not even about the future, but about history, not about parties, but about the watershed that we face every 100-200 years. This is not another political election. It is necessary to compare who is who, who has created what in his life, and make a choice based on that:
- No one can say that health insurance or free health care is a bad thing, but as a result of misorganizing these, the workload of doctors has increased enormously, there is no logistical support. Tara registered the citizens to ensure the pre-election show, from the 2-3rd day the problems of the citizens started… Health insurance was launched in the logic of the pre-election campaign.
- Everything should have an economic calculation and purpose. If you build a 2-3 million dollar school in a village with a population of 50-60, it is not the most efficient way of spending.
- If there is talk among Azerbaijanis of coming to Armenia, and the RA leadership does not categorically deny it from high podiums, does not respond to Aliyev, and only after receiving a great response and receiving a dabro, they begin to deny it, it is not convincing. If there is no such thing, why did you get into the controversy? From morning to night, they talk about bringing 300,000 Azerbaijanis to Azerbaijan, the so-called “Western Azerbaijan”, hold conferences… it is part of the state policy in Azerbaijan. And when we start talking about it, some nervous things arise, they become hysterical… You would have talked about it 2-3 years ago, denied it, instead of accusing us of being Azerbaijani narratives. distribution. No one wants another war, but peace needs time, societies need to integrate, scars need to heal, and this is not done in a day.:
- I think that Pashinyan has no intention to remove “Strong Armenia” from the election campaign and cannot do it. more wants to discredit. Therefore, there will not be a Moldovan scenario here, but a “Strong Armenia” scenario.
