ArmInfo. There was a competition between Facebook and reality, and reality simply  destroyed Facebook. the Acting Head of the Government of Armenia  Nikol Pashinyan, who heads the list "My step" bloc stated in an  interview with journalists on December 5, 

Speaking about the course of the campaign, Pashinyan said: "We hoped  that a major campaign would take place, but at the same time it was  nice somewhere, it was more than we expected". At the same time, he  noted that during the campaign, most often he heard from citizens'  accusations against the government that the Republicans continue to  boast about.

In turn, the candidate from the "We" bloc Acting  Justice Minister  Artak Zeynalyan complained about the lack of time to prepare for the  elections: ''But, in any case, we were able to campaign and  distribute the forces so that people would know about us. We were  able to promote our ideas, which are based on Western value''.

The head of the list of the Sasna Tsrer party, Varuzhan Avetisyan, in  turn, stated that if there is a "criminal four" on March 1, there can  be no ideological and programmatic struggle on the political field of  Armenia, speech. According to him, all political forces that are  connected with the previous regime cannot be involved in any  political processes today. <The culmination of political processes  that took place under the previous regime should be reflected in  <Armenian Nuremberg>. Only in this case can we talk about the  possibility of developing a stable state, "said one of the leaders of  Sasna Tsrer. Avetisyan said that we are talking about the Republican  Party of Armenia, the Prosperous Armenia Party, the Orinats Yerkir  Party and the ARF Dashnaktsutyun. "It should be borne in mind that  this is not about all members of these parties, but mainly their  leaders and leaders," he added.

According to him, many members of the ARF are sincere bearers of  national values. "However, in essence, the leadership of the Armenian  office of the party went against the principles and national ideas,  against its past. These actions naturally discredit rank-and-file  members of the ARF party both in Armenia and in the Diaspora",  Varuzhan Avetisyan added.  Speaking about the course of the election  campaign, he lamented that recently there has been some passivity  among the citizens in the regions.  "This is explained by the fact  that people, for the most part, are tired of street political  struggle," Varuzhan Avetisyan said.

The representative of the Republican Party, former Deputy Minister of  Defense Artak Zakaryan, in turn, said that one of the major  achievements of the Republican Party of Armenia during these years  was that we managed to maintain the status quo in the Karabakh issue,  overcoming all sorts of difficulties. The biggest omission, however,  he called the ineffectiveness of the anti-corruption program  undertaken. According to Zakaryan, because of the situation as a  result of omissions, people chased after populism, began to look for  pleasurable statements for them, which contributed to the incident.  "But this, of course, does not mean that this cabinet came to solve  the social issues of these people or solve them as much as we decided  them, because it was a circle of available opportunities and  resources," Zakaryan said.
