"You will be beaten up in breezeways..."
Vahan Hovhannisyan, a lawmaker of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation - Dashnaktsutyun is shocked to see the ‘circus tricks demonstrated' at the National Assembly in the past two days.
There are people here who take delight in the opposition split and the downfall of the first republic. I want to ask [Justice Minister] Hrayr Tovmasyan, and other Cabinet ministers. How many votes will you poll if you are nominated in a constituency where neither president, nor [National Assembly] Speaker Hovik Argamich (Abrahamyan), Chief of the Armenian Police Vladimir Gasparyan, Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan can support you? You will be beaten in the breezeways so badly that you will not want to show up at the National Assembly. Moreover, you will want to emigrate from Armenia. Guys, you will not get a single vote," Hovhannisyan said in his speech.
