The Chairman of the National Assembly, Ruben Rubinyan, continues to accuse the "Strong Armenia" opposition faction of inciting yesterday's fight in the NA session hall. On October 30, in a conversation with journalists, Rubinyan said that he did not discuss the incident with his opposition colleagues, but he hopes that they have "taken action". "We have not started. The opposition talks about provocation. Everything is recorded, the facts prove otherwise. No one (from the ruling MPs) cursed, I studied the footage. In other words, they didn't do anything, he approached and hit. Imagine if it happens like that. And didn't you see how he was giving a calm speech before that, they started jumping up from their seats, coming closer to hit him," Rubinyan recounted the events in his own way. He assured that he did not receive personal thanks from Pashinyan. Commenting on the wide coverage of the incident in the international media, Rubinyan noted that "of course, it's not good, but the opposition is responsible." "I hope they won't repeat it. But, to be honest, if they start again, the result will be the same. My analysis and experience show that when the opposition starts a physical confrontation, it leads to a confrontation that does not put them in a good position at all. If they don't repeat it, everything will be fine, otherwise it will be the same as yesterday," Rubinyan promised. Speaking about the issues raised by the opposition regarding the "Trump's Way" project and the new constitution, Rubinyan called them legitimate and noted that it would be logical to get their answers from everyone (the question also concerned Azerbaijan). because development scenarios depend on it. In the context of considering the opinion of the opposition voters, Rubinyan categorically stated that the voters of the opposition forces voted for 3 reasons: they were given money, they were scared by the arrival of 300 thousand Azerbaijanis and they promised that the Prime Minister Arna Samvel Karapetyan. "The fundamental issue is not to prevent the submission of the text of the constitution to the people's court. Let the people decide. If they are sure that the text is bad, let the people decide. Both regarding the constitution and future political events," said Rubinyan. To the observation that during the referendum the authorities can use the tried and tested measures: administrative resources, stealing votes, etc., Rubinyan replied that the opposition is the one who distributed bribes, and in general "Strong Armenia" will remain in the RPA. is there are either the former members of that party or the persons related to it. According to him, it has been proven that "KP" organizes fair elections, which is written in black and white in the PACE report. Rubinyan recalled the economic restrictions mentioned in the report, the purpose of which is to direct people to vote in a certain way. "In other words, the PACE report directly says that the Armenian opposition is a fifth column," Rubinyan stated, adding, "or agents of influence."
