Nikol Pashinyan: On June 20, the people of Armenia must make their  judgment over the former and current authorities

ArmInfo.On June 20, the people of Armenia are to complete their judgment over Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Robert Kocharian, Serzh Sargsyan and Nikol Pashinyan.  This was  announced on June 7 by acting Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol  Pashinyan during his election campaign in the Armavir region in the  city of Echmiadzin. In this context, he stressed that he is ready for  any outcome and any decision of citizens.

Pashinyan recalled the difference in the conduct of elections under  his government and the previous authorities in terms of the status of  citizens. In particular, he stressed that, starting in 2018, during  the voting, the people of Armenia had the status of a decision-maker.  A similar status of the acting Prime Minister guaranteed citizens in  the upcoming June 20 early parliamentary elections.

"We will be submissive to your decision, whatever it may be. You must  make a choice and point out their place to Levon Ter-Petrosyan,  Robert Kocharyan, Serzh Sargsyan and Nikol Pashinyan," he added.  In  this case, the  acting prime minister assured that the current  situation that Armenia has faced to is due to the fact that for many  years the citizens of our country did not have freedom to create,  creative freedom, including in the sector of  starting a business. In  this context, Pashinyan recalled the achievements of his government,  during the activities of which the state budget and expenditures in  the defense sector increased significantly.

At the same time, he touched upon the situation regarding military  service in Armenia, when the necessary support during the reign of  the former authorities was provided to the soldiers by their parents,  and not by the state. In Etchmiadzin, acting Prime Minister of the  Republic of Armenia did not miss the opportunity to remind also about  the negotiation process. "We did not lead the negotiations to an  impasse, we came to the negotiation process already being at an  impasse," he stressed. At the same time, Pashinyan considered it  necessary to apologize for all the mistakes he made while in power  and the disappointment caused. He assured that the current government  of Armenia did not surrender land, but, on the contrary, tried not to  allow the surrender of what had already been agreed by the previous  authorities during the negotiation process.

"I am sure that together, passing through the circles of hell, we  will be able to build a future for our children. And I came here to  say that Armenia has a future. And we must lay the biggest  cornerstone on June 20, thereby confirming the power of the people,  the rule of law, and confidence in the future of the Armenian people,  "Pashinyan said.
