Soros Group Transformed My Words and Tried to Present That I Called Our Citizens 'Trash': Zohrabyan

When in 2018, Nikol Pashinyan and his supporters captured strategically important buildings, when they took the rector of YSU hostage, when they seized the radio building, they declared that they were making a revolution, and that any action during a revolution is legal. This was stated by NAIRa Zohrabyan, a member of the Prosperous Armenia Party faction, during a conversation with journalists today, February 22, at a protest march organized by the 'Homeland Salvation Movement,' addressing the comment made by Lilit Makunts, a member of the 'My Step' faction, who stated that if supporters of the opposition seize buildings at lightning speed, the state has a monopoly right to open fire.

“In several posts, I have stated that those who justify the surrender of Artsakh, who say that Artsakh was a bone stuck in our throat, who justified betrayal, those people are 'trash' for me. Nikol Pashinyan and his Soros group transformed my words and tried to present that I called our citizens 'trash.' I am now addressing Ararat Mirzoyan. Mr. Mirzoyan, with jealousy, by executing Nikol's criminal order, you deprived me of the powers of the commission chairperson, which is unconstitutional, and I have appealed to the Constitutional Court. I am waiting for Ararat Mirzoyan to convene an extraordinary session of the National Assembly with the same enthusiasm to discuss Andranik Kocharyan's statement that those who seize buildings should know that they can be shot at,” said Zohrabyan.

She cited the Convention on Human Rights, which states that if the people exhaust all possible means to restore justice through constitutional means, the right to rebellion is also absolutely legal and legitimate against injustices.

Regarding the information that after Gevorg Petrosyan, she and Mikayel Melkumyan will also leave the Prosperous Armenia Party faction, she said, “You should address that question to those who are spreading that nonsense. I have no reason to leave the faction, and I am not aware of the motivation behind which some people are putting such a thesis into circulation. If there is a reason, I would like to hear the justification for it.”
