“Mobile demonstrators” taken to Lori Province in nearly 60 microbuses and buses

Today Nikol Pashinyan is trying to hold a campaign meeting in Lori Province. After yesterday’s fiasco in Shirak Province where the ruling party failed to get the impression of a more or less big crowd of people, even after gathering “mobile” participants of the meeting, particularly in the city of Gyumri, today, in essence, the ruling party has decided to double the number of “supporters” who are leaving for Lori Province.

Yesterday 168.am had reported that the person holding the office of Prime Minister had taken a large group of “supportive” employees with him to the province in an organized manner once again.

“We counted nearly 40 cars on the spot, and those cars had arrived from Yerevan. Based on the simplest calculation, 150-180 people are touring with him [Nikol Pashinyan] with shirts and hats. They are like a “support group”. These groups are the ones that are trying to show that there are masses and fake applause while the show is going on,” 168.am’s source in Shirak Province reported.

Nevertheless, the sight was rather sad in Gyumri in the evening, and as it appears in the video that Primate of the Shirak Diocese of the Armenian Holy Apostolic Church, Archbishop Mikayel Ajapahyan released, the square in Gyumri was half-empty during the campaign meeting.

According to 168.am’s reliable sources, today the “mobile demonstrators” of Lori Province have left for Lori Province with Nikol Pashinyan in 42 microbuses and 17 buses. Basically, the drivers of nearly 60 microbuses and buses took citizens to attend the outdoor campaign meeting to be held in Vanadzor this evening.

In essence, most of the people who gather during the campaign meetings in provinces are exactly those people, and in spite of this, the sight was rather sad in the city of Spitak.
