Ararat Mirzoyan presented main tasks of interim government of Nikol  Pashinyan

ArmInfo. "Today, on May 1, in the National Assembly of Armenia, I have the honor to present the leader of the national awakening, the candidate nominated by the Ekl  parliamentary faction for the post of Prime Minister - Nikol Pashinyan," Elk parliamentary faction member Ararat Mirzoyan stated. This nomination, as Mirzoyan recalled, was supported by three parliamentary forces, and the ruling RPA, at least, stated that it would not hinder his election.

According to Mirzoyan, at this stage the Armenian people are going  through one of the key moments of their history, when all the people  decided to open "a new and glorious page in their history."

Presenting the biography of Nikol Pashinyan, he again reminded that  in 1995 the candidate for premieres was expelled from the university  for political reasons. For the same reasons, in 1999, the newspaper  that he published was closed down, and in August of the same year he  was sentenced to a year for a court decision.  Later the sentence was  delayed. In 2008, after the events of March 1, was on the wanted  list, because of which 1,4 years remained in hiding. In July he  voluntarily appeared in the Prosecutor General's Office, where he was  detained, and in 2010 was sentenced to 7 years (he was under arrest  for 1.1 years). In 2012 he was elected to the National Assembly from  the ANC, and in 2017 - from the block "Elk". He is married and has 4  children.

As Ararat Mirzoyan noted in his speech, the main tasks of the interim  government of Nikol Pashinyan, first of all, will be to ensure  national unity. Turning to past problems, the new government will not  have the goal of hindering the unity of the people, but, on the  contrary, by joint efforts to find ways to solve them.  Secondly,  Nikol Pashinyan aims to ensure the normal course of the country's  activities - from proper protection of borders and ensuring the  stability of the financial system, until the current tasks are  resolved.  Priority will be given to socio-economic planning.  Further, according to the deputy, Pashinyan will start reforms in the  sphere of the suffrage. The cornerstone of the new - provisional  government will be holding extraordinary early parliamentary  elections. "I call on all to rise above their narrow-group and  personal interests, help us to build a new country jointly, and make  the best use of the historic opportunity that has been given to us  today," concluded Ararat Mirzoyan.

реально события 2018-го, почему-то стыдливо умалчивают. Более того, глухим молчанием приниженна роль Первого президента в преодолении начальных чрезвычайных трудностей становления Армении. Об ошибках Л. Тер-Петросяна достаточно напомнить кто из нас без греха, пусть первый бросит в него камнем. 1. 5.2018

“Призываю всех возвыситься над своими узкогрупповыми и личными интересами. Помогите совместными усилиями построить новую страны, и наилучшим образом воспользоваться той исторической возможностью, которая нам сегодня предоставлена.” Золотые слова. Только хочется добавить. Сегодня, оглядываясь на события 2008-го года в Ереване, можно констатировать, что вещие слова г-на Л. Тер-Петросяна потвердились. Инструмент слома несправедливой Системы, для чего он предложил себя самого, нашелся. Эстафету после Первого президента принял Н. Пашинян. О той роли, какую сыграл Первый президент, приблизив
