Oppositionist: Remaining in Russia`s orbit, Armenia will lose both  Artsakh and Syunik

ArmInfo.Remaining in the orbit of Russia, Armenia will lose both Artsakh and Syunik. I am more than convinced of this.  Chairman of the party Aram Sargsyan  expressed a similar opinion to ArmInfo.

"I really hope that the newly elected government of Armenia will be  able to overcome the pressure on it from outside, and now also from  inside, from the parliament. In this case, the ruling force will be  able to register certain successes. "As a result, Armenia will be  able to get out of the quagmire, after which we will take the right  track towards development," he said.

Before the elections, during the pre-election period, Moscow,  according to the politician, used almost all the tools and mechanisms  at its disposal in order to put pressure on Yerevan. The latter, in  turn, pursued the goal of gaining "pocket power" and "pocket  opposition". Sargsyan stated with regret that following the  elections, the Armenian people provided Russia with this opportunity.

"Unfortunately, as of today a large part of our people connects the  solution of the internal problems of Armenia , with Russia. It is the  presence of this context and subtext in the parliamentary elections  held on June 20 that led to the fact that the "Republic" party was in  the minority. And it is for the reasons mentioned above that today we  are the opposition not only to Robert Kocharian and Serzh Sargsyan,  but also to Nikol Pashinyan. It is we, not them, who are the real  opposition to the authorities, "he stressed. 

At the same time, the politician noted that the vote of confidence  received by Pashinyan and his "Civil Contract" party allows the prime  minister to practically single-handedly adopt the laws he needs and  sign international treaties.

In this light, recalling  the unsigned documents circulating in  Armenia after the last year's war, as well as those who spread those  documents, Sargsyan considered it obvious that they are of Russian  origin. The politician also noted Pashinyan's lack of interest in  publishing such "raw" documents.

"And, nevertheless, following the results of the past elections,  Pashinyan gained significantly greater opportunities than he had  after November 9 last year. Considering that the post-war realities  questioned the legitimacy, respectively, the power of Pashinyan. But  as we see the people did not agree with the attempts to make him the  only scapegoat for the defeat. The people considered that it was the  "former authorities" who were more guilty than Pashinyan and voted  accordingly. The rest of the events will develop within the framework  of my logic described above, "the politician concluded.
