ArmInfo. The vice-speaker of the Armenian parliament reacted to yesterday's speech of the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan in the Republic Square, where he reported to the people about the work done for 100 days in power.
In his statement, Sharmazanov drew parallels between Pashinian's speech and the methods of actions of Louis XIV, the French Jacobins, the Trotskyites and the Bolsheviks. "It was not a speech-a report on what was done or not done, but a stream of threats." Pashinyan, in every second word, referring to the assistance of the majority, threatened all those who dared to have a different opinion, having proclaimed their opinion and gathered on the square as the sole and Pashinyan threatened the judges and opponents, rudely violated the presumption of innocence, compared state institutions to the ground, and proclaimed the street as the only decision-making structure, as in the medieval Novgorodian valet, " Teal Sharmazanov.
At the same time, the vice speaker also stated that in the end Pashinyan stated what he criticized the previous authorities, namely, that for the sake of preserving power he is ready to change even the Constitution. Sharmazanov expressed the conviction that over the past 100 days Pashinyan had not forgotten anything, but he had learned nothing, and blackmail and populism, as before, remain the main tools. "Pashinyan proclaimed himself as the sole and independent bearer of power as the sole and independent bearer of power, assuming the function of a judge and a decision-maker." It is obvious that Pashinyan was in a difficult situation and nervous, and pours threats to the right and left, calling for the NSS's ambulance. It's time to settle down, it's impossible to take advantage of the emotional background of a part of the people, to go on adventures, this is the 21st century and democratic Armenia, and not the dictatorship obtained through blackmail, "the vice-speaker said. Sharmazanov reminded Pashinyan that he is no longer an oppositionist, but a representative of the authorities is responsible for the situation in the country and called not to try to threaten state institutions and deputies who have a different opinion and position, not to try to encroach on the law and the state. "During the 100 days of your stay in power, there are already dangerous trends: the violation of freedom of speech, dissent, the presumption of innocence, the subordination of state institutions and legislation to its interests, attempts to destroy national and Christian values, open attacks on the NSS, price increases, propaganda of perversions, propaganda of terrorism, falsification of court cases, "Sharmazanov said.
In conclusion, he stressed his confidence that even a hundred days later he remains at his opinion that Pashinyan cannot be either the Prime Minister of RA or the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.
