Specially Recruited Supporter Groups Brought During Pashinyan's Visits: "Hraparak"
«Nikol Pashinyan ensures the success of his pre-election regional visits through specially recruited roaming supporter groups. Supporters travel to the rally location in civilian vehicles in advance, creating a large crowd to welcome Pashinyan. In addition, special scripts are devised on how individuals will cheer for their 'god' Pashinyan. Creative ideas are developed by his PR team to make an impression on the public and inspire people with the notion that Pashinyan enjoys substantial support throughout the country.
We have been informed that almost all visits have been accompanied by the protectors of the revolution and individuals they have recruited. For example, Andranik Papikyan, the mayor of Aragatsavan in Aragatsotn Province, told us that a woman who scattered rose petals over Pashinyan was not a resident of their community. 'She’s not from our village, maybe she came with them, or perhaps she was from a neighboring village. These people knew each other; she came and scattered rose petals over her acquaintance and left. They personally knew each other and had a long conversation with Pashinyan,’ he said.
Meanwhile, yesterday in Artik, a protester, presumably from Ejmiatsin, made a slip of the tongue by stating that Pashinyan liberated Ejmiatsin,’ the newspaper reported. Read the full article in today’s issue of the newspaper.
