The election headquarters of “Prosperous Armenia” party strongly condemns today’s attack on members of “Strong Armenia” party in the city of Masis.
The political struggle should be a competition of ideas, programs and visions, not a manifestation of force and violence. Regardless of political views and party affiliation, such incidents are unacceptable and cannot be justified under any circumstances.
We are convinced that the violence against any opposition force is an attack not only against that political force, but also against the entire opposition, political pluralism and the idea of free elections.
We call on the law enforcement agencies to reveal all the circumstances of the incident as soon as possible and to hold the culprits accountable according to the law.
The elections are only a few days away. Therefore, restraint, responsibility and mutual respect are needed more than ever. We call on all political forces and their supporters not to give in to provocations, to stay within the limits of political correctness and not to allow the electoral process to be overshadowed by manifestations of violence and hostility.
These days, the future of our state and people is being decided, so it is more than important that political processes take place in a peaceful, fair, legal and democratic atmosphere. The atmosphere of internal solidarity, mutual respect and tolerance in Armenia should not have an alternative.
