ArmInfo.Allegations of coordination of Bright Armenia by Mikael Minasyan are an absolute lie. And people who make such statements are simply insane. Secretary of the Bright Armenia parliamentary faction Gevorg Gorgisyan expressed a similar opinion to ArmInfo.
"I consider it a professional duty of journalists to demand confirming facts from the authors of such scandalous news. It is appropriate to recall that this lie did not prevent the same Nikol Pashinyan from joining the Yelk bloc with us. First of all, because this legend was invented by his own party in the Vanadzor election 2016, "the lawmaker said.
According to Gorgisyan, Bright Armenia always tried to be constructive, represented in the parliament the projects created in collaboration with other parties of the Yelk. However, becoming a political majority, members of the Civil Treaty surprisingly quickly forgot about these initiatives. And today they not only reject them, but they also give their former partners in the bloc tough characteristics, even calling them traitors to the nation.
"Even our attempts to introduce bills on constitutional amendments, vetting, etc. are rejected. The manifestation of any criticism is perceived as a manifestation of personal enmity. And by generating aggression, colleagues from My Step brought the situation to a level where opposition is seen as manifestation of moral and psychological pressure, which should be resisted with fists, "he said.
In such a situation, the mere presence of the Bright Armenia lawmakers in the parliament, according to Gorgisyan, creates tension. And if the ruling majority des not realize their own guilt in the brawl that has occurred, it will certainly be repeated. According to him, the incident became evidence reigning in the minds of the "stepping" majority, an atmosphere of universal impunity.
"The next step, apparently, will be an attempt to create a powerful dictatorship. However, we have bad news for our colleagues – we will not allow this. According to their logic, it turns out that they can beat anyone with whose opinion they disagree and blame him for provocations: if our colleagues think of politics in this way, then I have a second bad news for them – they have nothing more to do in politics. The public sees very well how the government up to the prime minister refutes the obvious. And the authorities must, in the end, realize this ", the parliamentarian summarized.
To recall, yesterday the information spread on social networks that Edmon Marukyan is the <project> of the son-in- law of the third President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan, former Ambassador of Armenia to the Vatican Mikael Minasyan. Allegedly, the MP is on Minasyan's allowance, receiving from him $ 15,000 per month. Moreover, this information also noted that Minasyan provided over $ 400,000 to the party for the election campaign alone.
