Tsarukyan: Today, main threats to Armenia are Aliyev and Pashinyan

Tsarukyan: Today, main threats to Armenia are Aliyev and Pashinyan

ArmInfo.  Judging by his statements, RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's situation is indeed very precarious; it's not what it used to be. Gagik Tsarukyan, leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party, told reporters this during the election campaign on May 20, commenting on the latest round of  accusations Pashinyan has leveled against opposition leaders.

According to Tsarukyan, the prime minister knows full well that the  end of his rule is very near. "For eight years, all he's done is lie  and deceive. I remember his promises, his words about how he came not  to give up Karabakh, but to bring order to the situation, to remove a  thorn from the people's finger. He used to say that the people are  not a source of punishment, but today he's doing nothing but turning  citizens into a source of punishment," the politician said, recalling  the prime minister's provocative statements on Karabakh, which  triggered the military action that led to defeat and disgrace.

He added that Pashinyan's behavior already shows everyone he's not  the same. He knows the end is near, he has nothing to say, he can do  nothing, he doesn't even have a program. "Today he spoke about the  cement plant, and I say I won't trade my homeland for my property. We  legally purchased this enterprise a long time ago. 25 years have  passed since then, and are they just remembering this? All this  speaks to one thing:  the panic reigning within the ruling group, but  it's impossible to keep the people in this state forever.  Today, the  main threats to Armenia are Aliyev and Pashinyan, and this situation  must be put to an end," the politician and businessman noted.

Responding to a question about the prime minister's accusations  against Gagik Tsarukyan's son-in-law, Karapet Guloyan, he noted that  Karapet Guloyan's father, Vlad Guloyan, was a prominent businessman  and a millionaire, having earned his fortune throughout his life. It  was with this money that they acquired what the authorities are  talking about today.
