"Strong Armenia" on  police car crash:  This man left his house  before dawn once again and brought disaster upon us

"Strong Armenia" on  police car crash:  This man left his house  before dawn once again and brought disaster upon us

ArmInfo.  Active discussions have unfolded on Armenian social media following a tragic  accident  on April 11 involving a police bus accompanying Nikol  Pashinyan during his trip to the Lori region. One person was killed  and 11 others were injured.

Well-known human rights activist Ruben Melikyan has addressed this  accident  on Facebook saying" "Another victim of a fatal accident -  the police bus accompanying him (RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan -  ed.), funded at our expense, collided with a passenger car. One  person died and many others were injured. The fatal accident had  nothing to do with state functions, it was strictly tied to his  political activities."

In turn, Kristine Vardanyan, a member of the National Assembly from  the opposition "Armenia" faction, noted that Pashinyan's movements  have become a public safety cocncern,. In a sarcastic post, she  suggested to develop "safety guidelines" to avoid similar situations  whenever possible. "If you see Pashinyan and his 'group of  travelers,' do not approach him. Remember, talking to him could end  up either in prison or in the hospital. His 'love' is an expensive  pleasure for which you will pay. Do not communicate, do not ask  questions. Remember, he 'loves' you all, but this love often ends in  criminal cases. If you notice suspicious activity from a distance,  immediately change your route. It is better to walk a few more  kilometers than to die or be convicted. Take the opposite direction -  it is a matter of safety. If, by fate, you find yourself in the same  area and have nowhere to go, practice the art of 'not seeing.' Look  at the sky, count the leaves on the trees, or pretend to answer a  very important phone call. This trick can save lives. This is not a  joke. Keep children away from such places. It will save you.  Especially avoid Pashinyan's deadly convoy, which has already claimed  the life of a pregnant woman, caused the death of another citizen,  and constantly threatens public order. If you spot the convoy from  afar, change your route," Kristine Vardanyan stated.

"Strong Armenia" party board member Alik Aleksanyan noted that  stopping in Gntunik was more important than helping the accident  victims. "This man (RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan - ed.) left his  house again before dawn and brought disaster over us. Couldn't you  have stopped by and seen what kind of assistance the victims needed,  or was it more important for you to stop in Gntunik, have a coffee,  and something to eat?" Aleksanyan noted.

Recall, the RA Ministry of Internal Affairs bus, traveling from  Yerevan to the Lori region to ensure public order during the internal  party campaign of RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and his  associates from the ruling "Civil Contract" party, was involved in a  traffic accident. The incident occurred on April 11 at around 7:50  a.m. on the Kuchak-Aparan highway, where a Honda bus carrying police  collided with a Nissan. According to preliminary reports, one person  died in the accident, and 12 people sought medical attention.
