YEREVAN. – There is definitely a significant change, first of all, in the mood of our people. The chairman of the opposition Homeland Party, Artur Vanetsyan, on Saturday told this to reporters on Marshal Baghramyan Avenue, across the National Assembly of Armenia.
"Initially, the government tried to turn this struggle into a fight between the former and the incumbent [authorities], into a fight for the seat of power. But our society realized that it was not about that, but about more serious things: the existence of our country, the future, the welfare of our people. People who do not support us, do not have sympathy for the Homeland Salvation Movement also visit [Marshal] Baghramyan Avenue today. But they come here to show their protest, their position," Vanetsyan added.
According to him, the agenda of the aforesaid movement is the same: PM Nikol Pashinyan's resignation, the formation of an interim government, after which the holding of snap parliamentary elections. "The people must decide—through free _expression_ of will—who should be in power in Armenia. Nikol Pashinyan has recently shown that he is unable to remain Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia. Nikol Pashinyan will not be able to ensure fair elections. If the elections are organized under Nikol Pashinyan's prime ministership, they will not enjoy the trust of the majority of the people," Artur Vanetsyan said.
