Lawyer: Armenia acting PM Pashinyan grossly abuses administrative resources during Lori Province visit

News.am, Armenia

Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has grossly abused his administrative resources during his visit to Lori Province and his "tour" in the capital Yerevan. Lawyer Robert Hayrapetyan, a member of the "Armenia" bloc—led by second President Robert Kocharyan—which will run in the snap parliamentary elections in Armenia on June 20, on Sunday wrote about this on Facebook.

"N. P. [i.e., Nikol Pashinyan] has, in fact, carried out a pre-election campaign using all institutional resources (official car, staff, state security officers, etc.).

"By abusing administrative resources, the current interim authorities not only curtail the civil liberties of the people, but also undermine the legitimacy of the functions of the state—serving them not for the purposes set by the constitution and laws, but to serve private political interests," Hayrapetyan added, in particular.

“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
