ArmInfo.The third number of the proportional list of the Republican Party, the former head of the MNS, David Shahnazaryan qualifies an invitation from the National Security Service to give them explanations in connection with the statement that the current government implements the policy of "power in exchange for Artsakh", political persecution, and an attempt to pressure those "numerous" voters who are ready to vote for the RPA. Shahnazaryan said this at a press conference today, stressing that they will not give the authorities an opportunity to realize their plans.
"I received a call the day before at 9:45pm from the National Security Service and asked for meetings with the aim of handing me an envelope - this was an invitation to appear in the Service at 10:00am. I said that I could not come at 10:00am, but I would be at 1:00pm. I really intended to go to the National Security Service at this time and make the statement that will be voiced now. However, I was surprised by the fact that the National Security Service was ahead of me and I myself made a statement about my invitation to the Service. Therefore, I found it inappropriate to accept this invitation and decided to replace it press conference at which I qualify the actions of the National Security Service as a political investigation by the public order of acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on vacation. If, as stated in the report of the National Security Service, I announced this statement on November 27, why did they invite me today? Yes, because Nikol Pashinyan made such a public indication the day before, " said Shahnazaryan.
He stressed that even now he does not refuse his words: "I say this with all responsibility. I have already presented the facts in my statements as proof of the words I have expressed. I am ready to present them in the subsequent, but not to the National Security Service, but to the public. I'm ready also provide more detailed details regarding the statement I made the other day that Pashinyan's team-mate Sasun Mikayelyan was handed over to Omar during the Artsakh war. Vazgen Sargsyan wanted to shoot him then, many people knew about it, Sargsyan personally told me about it. "Everything that Mikayelyan says now is a lie," said Shahnazaryan, stressing that there are no law enforcement structures in Armenia, these are punitive bodies that have nothing in common with the state and respect the interests of Nikol Pashinyan, who understand less Pashinyan in the Artsakh issue. According to him, the forces participating in the elections are also Pashinian's henchmen. He called on all RA citizens to vote for the RPA, since every vote for Pashinyan is a "bullet against Artsakh".
According to Shahnazaryan, sooner or later, Pashinyan will appear before the court. In this regard, he called law enforcement agencies does not become an "accomplice" of his crimes. "Wake up, this regime has a short life, do not become complicit in these crimes, there was no greater evil for Armenia and Artsakh than this pseudo-revolution," he assured. Shahnazaryan also urged not to send him "such papers (invitations to the National Security Service)". "Send an arrest warrant immediately, but you don't scare me either. It didn't succeed even in Soviet times, whose special services were famous all over the world," Shahnazaryan said, assuring that he had been invited to the Special Investigation Service earlier, went there.
To note, today Shahnazaryan was called to the National Security Service for giving explanations in connection with earlier statements that the current government of Armenia pursues the policy of "Artsakh in exchange for power" and presenting actual evidence confirming the truth of this statement, as Shakhnazaryan promised, the National Security Service of the Republic of Armenia reports. According to the National Security Service, by this statement, Shahnazaryan, in fact, accuses the acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in state treason.
