Moscow-Based 'Bastard' Now Supports Samvel Karapetyan, Edmon Marukyan Claims

Edmon Marukyan, the leader of the LHK, took to his Telegram channel to address comments aimed at him by a Moscow-based individual, whom he referred to as a 'bastard' (using his own term). 'This so-called opposition figure insulted me for publishing a video where I discussed, among other topics, Macron's role in the Artsakh conflict, highlighting his positive contributions that have yielded no results due to the inconsistent and concessionary behavior of the current authorities, and I urged against making unfounded accusations against Macron,' he stated.

Marukyan criticized this individual, named Aram Gabrelyanov, claiming that they believe they understand Armenian politics while engaging in alleged opposition activities from a safe distance. 'During the pre-election period in 2021, this person supported Kocharyan and published non-existent 'poll results' claiming that Kocharyan was winning, ensuring that even the most passive voter for Nikol would go out to vote just to prevent Kocharyan's victory. In essence, they orchestrated a media terror that mobilized Nikol's voter base, resulting in 54 percent of the votes for him.'

He further remarked that this 'bastard' is now purportedly supporting Samvel Karapetyan. 'You understand that Gabrelyanov's endorsements have not led to any good outcomes. Whoever is declared as winning in his staged pre-election 'polls' ends up losing in the real elections.'

Marukyan warned, 'If I sense that any representative of the Armenian political arena is showing support or is involved with such Moscow-based bastards who level insults at us, the response will be immediate and very decisive.'
