There Has Never Been So Much Lies and Flattery: Sofia Hovsepyan

Former My Step Alliance MP Sofia Hovsepyan wrote on her Facebook page: "This text is written on Nikol Pashinyan's official page. A part of the text states: 'I know and understand the viewpoint that it would be better if the elections were faked, but we had a higher level of security; however, my conviction has been, is, and will be that it is precisely the long-standing practice of election fraud that has eroded the state resilience system that was formed in the early 1990s and, through chain reactions, has led to security disasters. Statehood and state institutions should be the guarantee of our future.'

First, I will say that elections of this quality, which actually took place, cannot be 'the guarantee of the future.' Second, our security situation has changed neither in the past nor now, if we evaluate it from the logic of your writing. Third, just as you accused the former governments of resource misuse, abuse of official positions, cash distribution, and other tools, today you make us forget all of that, since you have raised the bar and are applying even more vulgar, harsh, and unacceptable methods with add-ons. Fourth, such low participation in local elections (in some communities, 20% participation) cannot speak about security.

I would like to add ... Never has there been so much lies and flattery. Never has there been so much hatred. Never has there been so much alienation. Never have we had such fragmented families. Never have there been so many New Year gifts (money) or support from municipal and regional budgets. Never have we had such an indifferent society towards the future. Here is your future ... Here are your guarantees ... Silence!"
