Yes, I said it, then I apologized to the homeless because I offended them by comparing them. Vazgen Manukyan

It is natural that there are people among the public who support Nikol. I think it is necessary to work seriously with these people, to explain what is what; they are our citizens. This was stated today, on January 26, during a conversation with journalists in the Ararat region by Vazgen Manukyan, the Prime Ministerial candidate from the "Homeland Salvation Movement."

Referring to the incident during their visit to Gyumri when their convoy was blocked, and he referred to those people as "homeless," Vazgen Manukyan said, "There are citizens who, out of self-interest, have been acting against the opposition during all times of power. Those people were gathered, and I called them what I called them. The most interesting thing is that the country is in this state, interesting things are happening, and you are interested in that one word. Yes, I said it, and then I apologized to the homeless because I severely offended them by comparing them."
