“HAK is the only opposition in Armenia”
"The Armenian National Congress (HAK) is the only opposition in the country, I repeat-the only opposition," ex-Prime Minister Hrant Bagratyan declared several times during the rally today. He noted that he was supposed to be doing something else now, but instead, he was thinking of "how Serzh Sargsyan tricked everyone", including the observers.
Bagratyan presented an analysis of the figures and said the number of voters was exaggerated.
He viewed the counting process as immoral and was surprised to see how the so-called observers from Europe, the United States, Russia and the local amoeba sociologists accepted those machinations.
"Don't intervene, let this country develop. I could care less about what those observers accept or don't accept. If there was someone man enough among those observers, he would ask Serzh Sargsyan how was it possible to have as many voters as the population," said Bagratyan.
Hrant Bagratyan said he considered himself guilty for the fact that Serzh Sargsyan was still in power and promised that a couple of people in parliament would be suffice "to make Serzh Sargsyan ask for forgiveness from the people on his knees".
Chairman of the Armenian Pan-National Movement (HHSh) Aram Manukyan announced that even though the HAK will be in parliament, its platform will still be Freedom Square.
Manukyan also noted that nobody should blame those who took electoral bribes and voted for the government.
"We shouldn't blame the people. They were forced to do that. However, we shouldn't rely on them to keep our country. We have to rely on the struggling citizens, the 200,000 citizens that trusted us, and that trust is worth more than a mandate. Dear people, you are the ones fighting for freedom in this country. We must fight to keep you with faith and keep you in this country. Don't dare leave the country," said Aram Manukyan.
