SERZHIK SARGSYAN FINALLY SPEAKS!
Here’s the speech SERZHIK SHOULD have made:
“I call on all mega money thieves and illegitimate criminal hijackers of the Armenian elections and government, including myself, to surrender to the Armenian people and allow for the return to the state treasury of the billions of dollars we have stolen from the people through tax evasion, procurement fraud and other forms of systemic fraud that I’ve encourage and partaken in.
I call for immediate free and fair elections.
I call on all police to never again indiscriminately illegally arrest, beat and/or torture innocent citizens because of my personal paranoia and my desire to secure my personal protection against facing justice. Unfortunately thousands of videos showing illegal police activities – and millions of shares worldwide – have made it impossible for me to simply deny it.
I call on my favorite diaspora organizations to continue to disregard all these horrible beatings of protesters by my police, to disregard the indiscriminate illegal Soviet-style arrests of concerned citizens expressing their thoughts and words, and to just continue to close your eyes to my consistent theft of elections and billion$ while I allow you to let me walk on your red carpets and take selfies with me.
Have a nice day and if you don’t agree with me, you’re going to jail!”
