Gagik Tsarukyan: Very soon we will begin a new journey together

ArmInfo.  "Unfortunately, these days the authorities are once again trying to turn the election campaign into an atmosphere of threats, political blackmail, and  fear.  Those who loudly talk about democracy today do not tolerate dissent, and any criticism of the opposition is met with aggression  and pressure," Gagik Tsarukyan, leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party, stated during a campaign in the Shirak region.

According to him, people no longer want to live in an atmosphere of  hatred and hostility. No unlawful arrest or political persecution can  silence the voice of the people. "I urge you not to despair and not  to lose faith. Very soon, we will begin a new path together—more  united and confident in the future. Our goal is to restore the  dignity of the Armenian people, trust in the state, and national  unity," he stated.

Gagik Tsarukyan demanded evidence of the espionage accusations  against the party's second-placed candidate, Andranik Tevanyan,  expressing confidence that everything said about Tevanyan is slander,  and that he is a decent, courageous man and patriot. "Andranik  Tevanyan is my friend and colleague. Our entire team is with him. Let  them prove he's a spy. If not, we will hold him accountable for this  slander. If they can prove it, I will personally shoot my friend; if  not, then let the slanderers step into the cage of my lion," the  businessman said.
