Zarukyan's Spokesperson Responds to Pashinyan's Statement

In response to Nikol Pashinyan's latest manipulation, Gagik Zarukyan, the president of the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK), stated during a meeting with voters that a large number of patrol officers in Kotayk Province have been dismissed because their family members are supporters of BHK. Minutes later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs hurried to deny this information, but today it became clear that this haste was unnecessary, as just moments ago, Nikol Pashinyan effectively confirmed G. Zarukyan's information, adding that if they have not been dismissed yet, they definitely should be, because even he does not have that many people in positions from his circle.

This was written by Gagik Zarukyan's spokesperson, Iveta Tonoyan. First, the directive with a clear contradiction to the law is a direct threat to all opposition forces and figures. Absurdity must also have limits. This means that if you have friends, acquaintances, or neighbors working in law enforcement or the state system, you cannot support or favor any political force because, by Nikol Pashinyan's direct order, they will be dismissed from their jobs. This is indeed the reality.

Secondly, when Nikol Pashinyan claims that he does not even have familiar patrol officers as many as Zarukyan mentioned, let me refresh his memory. Yes, there may not be patrol officers from your immediate circle; however, your classmate Vahe Ghazaryan was until recently the Minister of Internal Affairs, your relative Hayk Galumyan is currently the governor of Tavush, your brother-in-law Hrachya Hakobyan has received a parliamentary mandate for the second time for his brilliant role in a TV series, former journalist Vahagn Hovakimyan is now the chairman of the Central Electoral Commission, and your nephew Sipan Pashinyan was a member of the National Assembly, while Hakob Simidian, who sheltered you during your time in hiding, was the Minister of the Environment. I could continue this list for a long time.

Incidentally, there are several other positions in which Nikol Pashinyan himself has appointed himself and continues to work in those roles today. Nikol Pashinyan - Chief Prosecutor of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan - Chief of Police of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan - Head of the NSS, Nikol Pashinyan - judges from various instances who read sentences against someone every day during the campaign.
