"Yerkir Tsirani" party criticized Pashinyan and stated that he repeats mistakes of previous authorities

Yerevan November 1

Ani Mshetsyan. The Yerkir Tsirani Party considers the six months of Nikol Pashinyan's rule and his formal resignation as a continuation of the authoritarian regime. According to the press service of the party, during his tenure, Pashinyan not only repeated the entire statement of Sargsyan, but also distorted reality under the name of revolution, and ensured the complete security of Serzh Sargsyan.

During these months, not a single law was passed that would exclude political and economic monopolies. Superior authorities of Prime Minister were not limited. There were no improvements in customs and tax laws. The law on lustration was not adopted. The constitutional electoral law was not adopted, the constitutional law on political parties was not adopted, the right of the Artsakh people to be elected in national elections was not returned, the possibility of Armenian citizens abroad to participate in elections was not ensured, a document confirming the legal basis for the presence of Armed Armenian forces in Artsakh was not adopted. Moreover, a corruption law was passed, which, under the name of pension contributions, allows funds of unknown origin to export equal 5-6% of the country's budget for 45 years abroad.

Representatives of the authoritarian regime Valery Osipyan and Hunan Poghosyan, who repeatedly violated human rights, were appointed to senior positions, and representatives of the former government were reassigned, such as Deputy Head of the National Security Service Arzuman Harutyunyan and Finance Minister Atom Janjugazyan. Advisor to President Serzh Sargsyan Varuzhan Nersisyan was appointed Armenian Ambassador to the United States. Armenian President Armen Sarkissian, appointed by Serzh Sargsyan, received protection of the current Armenian authorities in the person of Pashinyan. Heads of legal structures such as the National Security Service, the SIS, the IC and the police continue to apply the same methods as the previous power. Regarding the most major crimes have not been carried out versatile investigation, arrest and detention were selective. People who were imprisoned for political persecution were not released. The number of murders in the Armed Forces of Armenia remained about the same as in the days of the previous government.

Also, elections to the Council of Elders of Yerevan were held based on the existing authoritarian Electoral Code, and the Prime Minister, who led the campaign, exceeding his authority and dividing the public into "black and white" distorted the electoral process in local governments. A month later, through Mayor Hayk Marutyan, he thanked the Republican Party. The Prime Minister also did not eliminate the constitutional provisions that contribute to the development of corruption. Within 6 months of Pashinyan's rule, our Nakhchivan enemy approached us in 3 important directions to the Yerevan-Vayk-Goris-Kapan highway through large-scale engineering works. Police troops were not abolished, and did not become troops of the border guard. As before, natural gas was imported into Armenia for $ 150 and was sold to consumers for $ 300. The production and sale of electricity continues to provide the producer with huge revenues.

According to the draft budget for 2019, the economic growth forecast is lower than in 2018 and in 2017. During Pashinyan's visit to Ararat region on September 22, a false statement was made about the increase of pensions from January 1, 2019. Nikol Pashinyan made a false statement on August 17 that the events of March 1 were disclosed. Heroes of Armenia continue to be ignored by the authorities of Armenia. Nikol Pashinyan stated that there are no oligarchs in Armenia, meanwhile, he concluded an agreement with Gagik Tsarukyan. Despite the fact that the doors of ''Baghramian 26'' (residence of the former president) were open, however, the building continues to function as the residence of the first government official, the building of the Armenian government. The doors of ''Bagramyan 19'' (Parliament) are also open, however, this does not mean that the parliament makes decisions from which the citizens of the country benefit. Instead, the mansions on Proshyan and Kond streets, which are the houses of Serzh Sargsyan and Nikol Pashinyan, are still closed to visitors, and they are guarded by numerous policemen.

“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
