Only Hate, Destruction, Ruin, and Evil Spread: Arsen Julfalakyan on Nikol Pashinyan

The former MP Arsen Julfalakyan wrote on his Facebook page: "Dear compatriots, without exaggeration, the June 20 elections will be crucial for the Republic of Armenia. Of course, it would be very appropriate for the political power that disgracefully ended the war to simply be banned from participating in them, but we have what we have.

It is extremely important for all of us to participate in these elections and make the right choice. My appeal/request is that we should not be led by sentimentality and emotions, by liking/disliking, but purely by a cold calculation. Think about which of the candidates/political teams is truly capable of pulling the country out of this situation at this crucial moment. Make a dry calculation in favor of the state, not personal welfare (often these contradict each other…). In case of a wrong choice, we may lose everything.

One of the candidates (the one shouting with a hammer all day long…) clearly does not meet the mentioned role. In the last three years, he managed to destroy everything possible without building anything in return. This is a fact. This person only spreads hate, destruction, ruin, and evil. He does not match the extremely responsible duty of representing our country at the highest diplomatic level. He does not know how to speak correctly and does not master any foreign language. He does not possess the art of conducting negotiations. He does not even know what diplomatic etiquette and behavior are, and his conduct is simply disgraceful… He has DESTROYED ARTSAKH.

After all this, voting for him again means giving him a blank check to continue this state-destroying policy. The person who shamelessly boasts to his compatriots from various circles while only praising the enemy cannot be the leader of our state. The reasons are actually numerous and so evident… Also exclude those political teams that are willing to cooperate with the nationality-destroying candidate after the elections—Shirinyan-Babajanyan alliance, Aram Z. Sargsyan, Bright Armenia, and so on.

So let’s participate in the elections and make a smart, responsible choice for the benefit of our homeland and our future generations. We need a strong, experienced, and patriotic government. God preserve us!"
