Anna Grigoryan: Pashinyan bows his head before Aliyev and preaches  hatred towards Armenian citizens

ArmInfo. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan bows his head before Azerbaijani President  Ilham Aliyev and preaches hatred towards Armenian citizens. Anna  Grigoryan, leader of the opposition "Armenia" faction in the National  Assembly, stated this at a session of the Armenian National Assembly  on August 25.

"The Armenian people thirst for justice for Yerablur, the destruction  of Artsakh, the destruction of Armenian statehood, and sooner or  later this thirst will be quenched, both for the Armenian people and  for me," she said.

According to Grigoryan, Nikol Pashinyan is a staunch opponent of  Artsakh. "You hate Robert Kocharyan because he's from Artsakh, you  hate him because he didn't reach an agreement with you," she said,  addressing Nikol Pashinyan.

"You are a defeated leader," Grigoryan told Pashinyan, emphasizing  that the opposition will do everything to restore justice. The MP  recalled that from 2020 to 2023, amid talk of a new Constitution,  there was no mention of the need to exclude the Declaration of  Independence from it, but as soon as Aliyev raised the issue, Yerevan  stirred. In an interview with Public Radio, the MP continued,  Pashinyan bluntly stated that the Declaration of Independence was  like a "red rag" for Baku and Ankara. "When I say you live and  breathe under Aliyev's demands, that's true," said Anna Grigoryan,  also recalling the prime minister's interference in the affairs of  the Armenian Apostolic Church. She pointed out that the country's  Constitution prohibits such interference. "It's curious that  government officials previously actively participated in Armenian  Apostolic Church events with the participation of the Catholicos of  All Armenians. What, they weren't aware of the situation in the  church back then? They knew perfectly well, they were simply waiting  for orders from Baku," the opposition figure noted.

In turn, RA National Assembly Speaker Ruben Rubinyan, countering the  opposition's accusations, noted that according to the indictment,  Kocharyan and his family purchased a plot of land next to the Cascade  for 40 million drams. They then exchanged this plot for another 2  hectares of state- owned land, which they sold for 1.74 billion  drams. In other words, they made a profit of 1.70 billion drams.  "Please explain to me what revenge, being a Turk, or being a traitor  have to do with this," the speaker said. Addressing the members of  parliament from the Armenia faction, Rubinyan stated: "Aren't you  tired of using these national values as a cover for your leader's  alleged theft?  Are you patriots? Do you care about national values?  Justice and honesty are national values, let's defend these values.  Tell me, where did this sum of 1 billion 700 million drams come from?  Yes, it's revenge, because justice is the people's revenge against  people like you. And we will take revenge on Robert Kocharyan and  other allegedly corrupt officials, we will take revenge on each of  them individually. Robert Kocharyan will also pay every last drop of  the money the prosecutor's office is demanding be confiscated from  him as illegally acquired property, if they prove it. And I think the  chances of them proving it are high," Rubinyan added.
