"In the Morning, Nikol Called and Said: They Are Hitting Me from Behind" - Vahram Baghdasaryan on 2018 Events

Vahram Baghdasaryan, a member of the Republican Party's Executive Body, stated on the air of "168 Hours" that he had around 15 private conversations with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan before the last parliamentary elections.

“I think it was on October 1, in the evening we had a meeting at the Marriott and agreed that we would also meet the next evening with the ARF and BHK, we would have a joint project, after which we would make a statement that we are going to elections in May. However, the next morning, I received a call from Nikol Pashinyan, and he said, ‘They are hitting me from behind, etc., I will come to you at 5:30, and we will talk.’ Then he came to my office with Ararat Mirzoyan, and he announced that the agreement was canceled and that he had unilaterally decided that there should be snap elections in December,” Baghdasaryan said.
