Long Live Political Bargaining, a Not-So-New Phenomenon: Baghdasaryan

And so, long live political bargaining, which is not a new phenomenon. The question is whether you are in the role of the seller or the buyer. This was stated by Nazeli Baghdasaryan, the press secretary of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and candidate for the Shiraz City Council from the Civil Contract party, on her Facebook page.

"You are responsible both for Gyumri and for the people of Gyumri. And God forbid that a single hair falls from anyone's head. By the way, all the claims that you will not bear political responsibility from this decision onward are mere empty rhetoric. What happened is precisely what we said would happen. The fate of Gyumri has not been of intrinsic interest to these individuals. They were eager to usurp power and were ready to sacrifice Gyumri at the behest of their masters. There was an alternative: to hold new elections. But isn't it true that people are currently going through bribery cases? Naturally, in the case of new elections, they wouldn't even have half of the votes they collected. And so, long live political bargaining, which is not a new phenomenon. The question is in which role you find yourself—seller or buyer? Regardless, my understanding of some people's sense of honor and dignity has been completed. It was expected," she wrote.
