Nikol Pashinyan: We do not want our people to be poor and in need of  pre-election bribes

ArmInfo.In the course of the pre-election campaign, the question was always raised beforehand which political force will win in the upcoming elections. But now the  candidates will not win, in the future, only the people of Armenia  will win in all elections. This was announced by the Prime Minister  of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan on September 19 in the  capital community of Malatia-Sebastia at the pre-election rally of the "My  step" block for the elections to the Yerevan Council of Elders.

The Prime Minister noted that earlier, during the pre-election  campaign, people had no hopes and illusions, everyone was sure that  the result of the elections is already predetermined. However,  according to Pashinyan, this time no one will dare to steal from the  people his voice, everything will be the same as the citizens of  Armenia will decide. "This is the first election, the result of which  is not a foregone conclusion.This is the first time in Armenia when  the government in the government of Armenia does not discuss the  issue of how to split the political field after the elections.The  people will decide by their own vote who they want to give power to.  fight each other for your voices, we do not give pre-election bribes,  the government and the ruling political force are fighting for your  confidence, "the prime minister said.

Pashinyan noted that the pre-election struggle is quite normal and it  should not be regarded as a mutual enmity. "The pre-election struggle  is quite normal, at the moment we are even somewhat inferior to other  political forces, since the three political forces have their own TV  channel, and we do not." Moreover, not a single TV channel has had  such freedom before , as now, earlier the TV companies were waiting  for a signal from Baghramyan 26 "(the address of the residence of the  former President - Ed.)," the prime minister stressed.

"If you could talk about anti-revolutionary processes 10 days ago,  now the people's power in Armenia is not in danger, but now many  political forces want to agree with us on how to divide the power,  but no one has the right to make deals without the knowledge of the  people ", Pashinyan stated.

Pashinyan also touched the candidate for mayor of the capital from  the block "My step" Hayk Marutyan.  "Those who want to steal from the  people of his power began to spread rumors that they found" dirt on  "on Marutyan, the latter has houses and cars.He has houses because he  earned them, and he used his abilities for In order to earn money for  these houses and cars, I call on everyone to work and earn. "The  times when the rules were working" who does not work that he eats,  "the prime minister said.

Pashinyan noted that the representatives of the "My step" bloc want  that the time has come for Armenia, when all citizens of the country  would have the opportunity to get rich and earn their living by  apartment and houses. "We do not want our people to be poor and  hoping for power, we want our people to become rich and do not need  pre-election bribes," Pashinyan said.

In conclusion, he expressed hope that the people still vote for  number 7, for the block "My step". "I want to note that these are not  just elections, it's one of the most important pledges of the  revolution's swiftness, and you can win, but if you decide to vote  differently, we will take your decision." No one dares to steal your  voice, but I would hope that you still vote for the block "My step,"  - concluded the Prime Minister.
