Opposition MP: Overwhelming majority of Armenians realize what this struggle is about
Nikol Pashinyan is pretending that he has nothing to do with what that is happening in Armenia, MP Tigran Abrahamyan of the opposition With Honor faction told reporters during a march on Thursday.
His comments came as mass anti-government protests in Armenia entered the fifth day on Thursday.
He lawmaker accused Pashinyan of repeatedly trying to shift the responsibility for his administration’s failures onto others.
He also denounced the authorities’ proposal on a mirror withdrawal of troops from the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, saying it would create new problems in different parts of Armenia.
Abrahamyan states that Pashinyan's ouster is solely aimed at stopping the cycle of mounting threats and creating opportunities for Armenia and Artsakh to strengthen and develop as well as ensuring the physical existence of Armenians in the region.
"The ongoing struggle is for the physical existence of Armenians in the region," he noted.
“The overwhelming majority of people realize what this struggle is about and the actions of provocateurs controlled by the incumbent authorities are aimed at discrediting the movement,” Abrahamyan said.
