Ter-Petrosyan on Sargsyan and the precipice
The Armenian National Congress's (HAK) meeting with voters didn't see a high turnout of participants and the main voters attending the meeting were the elderly.
An old woman by the name of Marus says she has seven grandsons and all of them are in Russia. She adds that even her fellow female villagers have left for abroad in search of jobs.
Deputy candidate running through the majoritarian electoral order at precinct N 27 Gurgen Yeghiazaryan informed his voters that emigration was in the government's favor.
"They have a plan to take your homes and deprive you of your lands. They need your children to go abroad and receive an education, while they remain as the only ones enjoying the country," said Yeghiazaryan.
Deputy candidate Nikol Pashinyan mentioned his version of putting an end to emigration. According to him, those who emigrate must be sure that they will live a normal life upon their return to the country.
HAK leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan said what would happen if the citizens voted for the current authorities on May 6. "If you're voting for Serzh Sargsyan, go ahead and vote. But be aware that you will be moving toward the edge of the precipice. He'll fly over the precipice, while you will be rolling into it."
