Arush Arushanyan Issues Statement: New Developments

Goris Mayor Arush Arushanyan wrote on his Facebook page: “Dear compatriots,

The country is facing serious challenges because of the ruling group, which symbolizes defeat. This government has shown that they are not only incapable of achieving success but are also proud of their significant failures. The enemy has openly invaded the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia, and for a long time, we have seen that this government is unable to neutralize any threats to our country.

During these difficult times for the country, Syunik cannot remain indifferent, as we witness every day how our nation is being divided and how pieces are being handed to the enemy. The trials that have befallen us should never weaken us; we have no right to succumb to despair. We must and can become stronger, be reborn, and develop.

I want to inform you that I have joined the ‘Armenia’ alliance; why? Because the leaders of the ‘Armenia’ alliance are capable of ensuring the RESURGENCE OF ARMENIA. I am confident that our political team will succeed in creating a healthy atmosphere of trust and unity and will fight fairly for the progress of our country.

I urge all my supporters and those who trust me to be in Goris Square on June 8 at 10:30 AM to meet with the second President of Armenia, Robert Kocharyan, and members of the Armenia alliance. We have no right to lose hope; we must look forward with care for one another and lay the foundation for a strong nation through a national program to bring the country out of this situation.”
