ArmInfo. Talk that the former leadership of the country wants to return to power again, using protest actions for this purpose, is a blatant lie. Eduard Sharmazanov, former deputy speaker of parliament, Spokesperson of the Republican Party, said this during the rally.
"I am a representative of the Republican Party and I am proud of it. I know the Armenian people were dissatisfied with our leadership, and I apologize for the mistakes. But we are not traitors, we did not surrender the land. In 2016, representatives of our party stopped the war in just 4 days. Serzh Sargsyan does not want to return to power. When he saw that the people were against him, he simply left. For us, posts are not the main goal. The head of our party is now going through a very difficult time, because in 2.5 years Armenia was destroyed. When the government signed the act of surrender, our dream, the victory of Artsakh was stolen from us. We are ready to support the new government. But Nikol Pashinyan must leave, "Sharmazanov said.
In turn, MP from the Prosperous Armenia faction Naira Zohrabyan noted that although Vladimir Putin does not consider Pashinyan a traitor, he is such for the Armenian people. Moreover, "perhaps he will soon become the national hero of Azerbaijan."
She believes that Putin nevertheless caught Pashinyan in a lie. The head of Russia told us that at the beginning of the war the issue of surrendering Shushi was not discussed, and on October 19, 20 there was a worthy option for concluding a worthy agreement. "There was an opportunity to save Shushi and many other now lost territories. Aliyev agreed to this, but Nikol Pashinyan refused, "Zohrabyan said. The MP also read an excerpt from an article by Nikol Pashinyan, which the latter wrote in 2001, where Pashinyan said that the liberated territories of Artsakh should be returned to Azerbaijan. Therefore, Pashinyan must urgently resign.
