“Unlike other political leaders, Nikol Pashinyan has a very good political sense”

The guest of “Aravot” “Other agenda” program is Anna Kostanyan, a member of the “HayaVote” unification board.

“All political forces spoke in possible and impossible ways, blackened each other offended and corrupted the political discourse. Also, this time the drastic steps taken by the government towards the opposition forces were much more pronounced to limit from the point of view of intensifying the barrage of threats, as well as the actions following the threats,” says Anna Kostanyan, the guest of “Aravot” “Other Agenda” program, member of the “HayaVote” unification board, summarizing the main stage of the pre-election campaign.

Our interlocutor reminds us, not only the voice of opposition figures, but also their own An attempt was made to silence the citizens who made themselves heard for Nikol Pashinyan . Even the law enforcement system was involved in this case, and the most prominent example is a figure from Artsakh This is Arthur Osipyan. who was arrested and has been on hunger strike for 15 days. Reminds too What happened to Andranik Tevanyan? and in the documentation, this time the government had a tougher word and action.

According to the records of international observation missions, the propaganda has become polarized, divisive and has formed a harsh atmosphere in domestic life. Only they did not specify that the efforts of the current government were the greatest in all of this.

Our interlocutor does not expect objective evaluations from the international observation missions, because various international structures and individuals, with political goals, expressed their open and indirect support to Nikol Pashinyan. “Naturally, some omissions should be recorded, because they are so obvious that it was impossible not to record them, questioning the legitimacy and authority of these organizations.”

Politicians, for example, talk about post-election developments. Levon Ter-Petrosyan expressed concern at the beginning of the campaign that they would be destructive for Armenia, Robert Kocharyan recently announced that Nikol Pashinyan will get a revolution if he tries to promote his victory with fakes.

“Unlike other political leaders, Nikol Pashinyan has a very good political sense, feels the public mood very well and expresses his feelings directly beyond the screen when he meets people who dare to ask him uncomfortable questions, express their opinion, and has to resort to manipulations or hysterical shouting in order to suppress the voice of these people.

I suppose that he can be capable of anything. Because after losing the power, he understands that he will face legal responsibility, stand before the court and answer for his anti-state actions during the eight years one by one. I think he is capable of any step to keep the power. And he showed it, for example, during the “Srbazan” movement, in Baghramyan avenue,” says our interlocutor.
