Armenia – Jan 15 2022

Instead of dealing with serious problems, the current Armenian authorities seek to “throw dust in people's eyes and shut them up”, MP Tigran Abrahamyan from the opposition With Honor faction claims.

"Various kinds of border incidents, including aggression, local battles, subversive attacks, kidnapping, captures and invasions, will continue as long as there are people in power whose priorities and actions contradict the vital interests of the Armenian people,” he wrote on Facebook on Saturday.

“Even in this difficult situation, when it seems that sweeping changes in some spheres are inevitable to ensure security, the authorities are sticking to populism, which aims not to resolve serious problems, but to “throw dust in the eyes of the people and shut their mouths".

“All issues of primary importance are tried to be closed by bringing everyday life to the fore, proposing populist solutions to them, while the key security issues not only remain unresolved at their will, but are becoming increasingly exacerbated,” Abrahamyan said.

“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
