Armenian newspaper criticizes authorities while bringing Georgia as a positive example

Georgian Journal, Tbilisi
 
 
 
Yerevan is buried in rubbish, Rustaveli Avenue is washed in Tbilisi – says Armenian newspaper Golos Armenii. Author Marina Mkrtchyan compares measures taken by the Armenian and Georgian authorities in the fight against the coronavirus and strictly criticizes PM Nikol Pashinyan’s government. First, she speaks about steps made by the Georgian PM Giorgi Gakharia, such as monetary compensation to the Georgian citizens of GEL 150, imposing lockdown in Tbilisi and other three large cities, fines of up to GEL 15 000
and making wearing masks compulsory.
 
“Citizens of Armenia, by contrast, see deputies and ministers on television every day at parliamentary and government meetings without masks. They see without masks the prime minister, speaker, and commandant, who urge them to comply with safety rules” – Marina Mkrtchyan says.

“Amid the coronavirus epidemic, the Yerevan City Hall is not engaged in disinfecting the entrances and elevators of apartment buildings, but in spring fieldwork” – reads the article. “On the central streets of the capital, gardening employees dig out some flower beds and plant flowers. In a state of emergency – this is the most "necessary" work to do. Central streets are buried in trash. The situation is similar in the courtyards and entrances of multi-apartment buildings, where tenants wipe the railing and wash the stairs themselves. The fact that the mayor of Yerevan is obsessed with phobias and is hiding from the coronavirus is already known far beyond the borders of the country.”
 
“Unlike Armenia, where the government cannot influence the rise in prices for essential goods, Georgian PM promised to keep under control prices of 9 items, namely rice, pasta, vegetable oil, flour, sugar, wheat, milk powder, buckwheat and beans” – Marina Mkrtchyan says.

Is there a difference in how Armenians die – because of the coronavirus or hunger? – asks the author and says:
 
“Situation in Armenia resembles a mess and general chaos, while Pashinyan and his gang are busy dealing with personal and political accounts, they do not care about the people! Nikol advises people to squeeze coronavirus with tweezers in a glass of vodka. President Lukashenko, who is called the "last dictator of Europe," also advises treatment with vodka and a bath. What a striking resemblance in approaches!” – by saying that, the article concludes:
 
“If Gakharia let himself to give such an advice, he would be forced to leave the post the same day!”

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
