VIDEO. I Don't Sleep at Night, Nikol: Father of Missing Soldier, Political Scientist Gegham Nazaryan

If citizens do nothing and stay comfortably in their homes, one day they will find out that the ruling 'My Step' faction has established diplomatic relations with Azerbaijan and recognized Azerbaijan's 'territorial integrity', also agreeing that Azerbaijani refugees should return to Vardenis, Kapan, Masis, Amasia, and so on. This was stated today, December 23, at a rally demanding the resignation of Nikol Pashinyan by political scientist Gegham Nazaryan, a member of the 'Alternative Projects' group.

Gegham Nazaryan recalled that his son is missing in action from the war. "Now I don't know where my son is; I don't sleep at night, Nikol. How can you talk about the future today, while the future of Armenia holds only one version where you will spend your life in prison? Mikayel Minasyan is right. You should constantly hear the names of all those boys who today say from the sky, 'fathers, mothers, we are not here, but are you even here? Can't you see that you are tolerating that scoundrel in that position?'

I allow myself to speak on behalf of Abgaris and all those boys who are missing and have fallen, to not stay home for their sake. This is not a matter of power; this is a matter of honor, a matter of our country's future. Those of you who, for whatever reason, believe Nikol, do not believe him. He is a liar, a coward, a sick man. He always used to say, 'You know, I was a coward; I dream of being fearless,' but that is how one is born, Nikol, you are not to blame, but a coward cannot lead Armenia; get out!

Nikol, no one should have gathered here; these protest events should not have occurred. You should have apologized on November 10 and left. My Step scoundrels, what are you talking about, what diplomatic relations with Azerbaijan or Turkey when our boys' bodies have not yet been buried, when we have not found their bodies?" he noted.

According to Gegham Nazaryan, Nikol Pashinyan has been preparing the nation for this disgraceful defeat over the past 2.5 years. He would judge the heroes of Artsakh, imprison them, so that he could hand Artsakh over to Azerbaijan on a silver platter.

"And with the platter that would have the bodies of our children on it! Nikol, do you think you can endure this? No, you won't endure it in Canada if you escape, nor in Lebanon, nor in Ankara, Istanbul, or Baku. You have one chance, to apologize and leave, to say, 'Judge me by the judges I called yapping judges.' You are so shameless and unspeakable that you presented the work of 30 years of diplomats as 'shoe polishing,'" he said.

Nazaryan also stated that Armenia is weakening every day under Pashinyan's leadership, and the enemy is pleased that Pashinyan does not resign. He emphasized that we should thank Vazgen Manukyan for agreeing to take on this heavy burden in the current situation of the country.

Gegham Nazaryan, who worked for many years with Nikol Pashinyan and Anna Hakobyan at the 'Haykakan Zhamanak' newspaper as deputy editor, addressed Pashinyan: "Your father said not to become prime minister because he knew who you are. What forces forced you to come and destroy this country? What right do you have to talk about the future when you have given away Shushi, Hadrut? Nikol, at least for a moment, be a man, step out from under your wife's heel and resign, enough is enough, it's shameful. Anna, I know you well too; let that man calmly resign. Let him face not the people's judgment, but the court's judgment," said Nazaryan.

According to the political scientist, Nikol Pashinyan loves no one; he only has one sanctity: money. "He was always dissatisfied with his father because he thought his father treated him poorly, not realizing that everyone lived poorly in the 90s. But he hated his father and hated the whole nation, and took revenge on us because we were naive," Nazaryan concluded.
