When Mamikon Aslanyan defeats the CP and, having received the absolute trust of the people, becomes the head of the community of Vanadzor, you put him in prison for 2 years and 7 months on trumped-up charges (he was acquitted today).
When Vardan Ghukasyan defeats the Communist Party and becomes the mayor of Gyumri, he is sent to prison for the case he made (he was acquitted in one part, the proceedings are still ongoing in the other).
When Volodya Grigoryan defeats the Communist Party and is elected head of the Parakar community, you kill him.
When Arkady Tamazyan defeats the Communist Party and is elected mayor of Alaverdi, you use illegal pressure on the members of the council and force him out of the municipality with the brute force of the police.
Arsen Aghababyan, head of the opposition community of Noyemberyan, is arrested, accusing him of renting out the dilapidated building for AMD 70,000 instead of 100,000 per month.
You keep the oppositionist Arush Arushanyan, who defeated the CP in Goris, in custody for 8 months. Arush Arushanyan, seeing what happens to the oppositionists who fought against the Communist Party, learns the lesson given by Nikol Pashinyan, joins the ranks of the Communist Party, wins without a rival.
The same lesson is learned by almost all potential participants of the local government elections held on October 25, as a result of which, with a few exceptions, the opposition forces do not participate in the elections.
You hold a special training course for “Strong Armenia” who did not study the lesson and submitted an election bid in Stepanavan, and before the elections, you arrest the candidate for the mayor of the city, Arsen Gevorgyan, 5 other candidates for the council of elders, a total of 21 people.
As a result, on October 25, KP won a crushing victory in the local government “elections”, receiving indicators of the Soviet period.
This is how the beacon of democracy Nikol “Byul-Byul” Pashinyan destroyed the election mechanism in Armenia.
