Nikol Pashinyan is surprised with local self-government election results
Nikol Pashinyan, Civil Contract party board member, NA MP, is surprised with election results of local self-government bodies, held yesterday. Today he told reporters that it’s early giving assessment to the elections, the results need to be analyzed and conclusions should be drawn.
“I was completely surprised that RPA could have won in these elections in Gyumri, Vanadzor and Kapan. Conclusions should been drawn. This means traditional imaginations of the activity of the opposition should be reviewed,” N.Pashinyan said.
In his words, as of today there is no official information on fillings and etc., and to those touching upon bribe, he says—bring someone, who will stand before the camera and state on it,
“I should stand before the camera and make a statement, not having assurance of at least one person, talks in that genre aren’t acceptable to me. The most important conclusion from these elections is that percentage of people, interested in unselfish politics, is rather little. Throughout these years, this has become political reality.
Today those responsible for all phenomena are the authorities, however, this isn’t enough to record changes. For this we should reflect to our activity, opposition activity, and I have been busy with this throughout last 3 years.”
According to N.Pashinyan, they should be self-critical, realize internal connections of their say and public reflection, logic, realize the process of people’s decision-making, without which it’s impossible to accomplish anything.
“One point is obvious: in these elections succeeded the political powers, which agreed with the voter personally, and not through propaganda. For instance, they told a family to vote for them, and they succeed to move them to the polling station, and they win. Now the RPA has money, transport and administrative resources. Contacts I had in Gyumri and Vanadzor, made me think, that people extremely and vitally need changes, however, the results, recorded in the polling stations, raise a question: do people want changes in general? Or the problem is in ourselves,” Pashinayn said.
