ArmInfo. Recently, the activities of the opposition have not received any reaction among the residents of Armenia. Sisak Gabrielyan, MP from the My Step faction, said this on March 9 during a briefing in parliament.
He noted that recently, representatives of the opposition have always expressed their dissatisfaction with the authorities and complain that they are being harassed in social networks using fakes and other resources. "However, it would be very useful if our colleagues would sometimes go beyond social networks and communicate with ordinary people, as we do. Then they would realize that not only fakes on social networks, but ordinary citizens are not enthusiastic about their activities," the MP said.
In turn, head of the Bright Armenia faction Edmon Marukyan stated that the opposition always performs a very important and significant function in the state. "In particular, the opposition is needed so that the authorities can better see all their mistakes and omissions, and it is also needed for the evolutionary development of the state. I consider it unacceptable that the attitude to the opposition be measured only by statements addressed to them by different groups of the population. And even more so, it seems to me that it is unacceptable to measure the attitude to our activities through the posts of various people in social networks," the MP said.
He stressed that often people simply do not respond to these insults in order to protect their nerves. "Given the fact that every person can be attacked immediately by an army of obscure people who will defend their point of view with foam at their mouths and in order not to become the target of their attacks, many refrain from expressing their opinions. However, this does not mean at all that he's not there," Marukyan concluded .
