Armen Ashotyan, Vice Chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia, wrote:
“Do you remember, really, this image, which became very popular during the days of the change of power, which, along with curses, insults, and insults, was actively spread after Pashinyan was not elected prime minister by the National Assembly on May 1?
Of course, it was already clear then that the number of those who opposed Nikol wasn’t limited to 55.
And his supporters weren’t 3 million either.
But to declare him an enemy of the nation, a Turk, a traitor, a huge mathematical disproportion, at least under the influence of propaganda, was presented as the truth.
Let me repeat, the number of people in the country who were against Nikola certainly wasn’t 55.
The public was already visible in the activities of those concerned about the fate of the country on the brink of imminent catastrophe (AdekvaDNers and others).
However, among these 3 million…” Besides the lost but honest compatriots, there were also “my home on the brink of disaster,” “everyone fled—and I fled,” “Akella missed,” “the king is dead, long live the king,” “my finest hour,” “surrendering in time—foreseeing,” and other characters who, arms crossed, in the spirit of Dyuksov, and forgetting themselves, joined in the persecution of the inhumane, who knew no morals, no boundaries, and no sacred things.
Why am I reminding you of this?
In recent years, hundreds of thousands of people have opened their eyes to what a capitulator is.
Some of them honestly admit, at least to themselves, that they were wrong.
The second group blames me and my friends. “Why shouldn’t we give the crown to Nikol?” even though two years ago they were among those who burned, killed, and devastated us.
This group also includes some media outlets and individual journalists whose sole goal, even in this catastrophic state of the country, is to discredit the Republican Party and Serzh Sargsyan.
And the third group seems to think that no one has been there before them, and so they, one day waking up, suddenly realize that Nikol is a villain.
The problem isn’t taking credit for something, but rather not distorting history and yourself.
Next time, before you judge or condemn someone, try asking yourself this question: in what numbers in this picture did you see yourself eight years ago?
Let’s answer the question honestly about your past, so that we too can honestly build our tomorrow.”
