I am flabbergasted, you mean, Nikol, did not reach out to his ‘Yerevan Peacenik Mob’to take it to the streets of Kapan and demand recount? He’s slacking off.
When was the last time you reported that the head of an Armenian government or Armenian political party made the comments that the Mr. Pashinyan just made about the “Win for Democracy” despite the fact that the candidate from his party lost the election. Maybe we should start focusing on the idea that the time has arrived in Armenia that people can see that their vote for their candidate is fairly counted and accepted by all candidates and political parties in the election.
Really. Is sarcasm the answer?
Mr Pashinyan acted like a true leader and needs to be commended.
What a prime minister and what an answer.
Bravo. One more reason to express my admiration to dear Mr. Pashinyan.
Keep up the good job and we keep on praying for you and your family.
Hale to Mr. Pashinyan. He is correct in saying DEMOCRACY won. Fair election & people’s choice. What else you want? Another revolution. Enough is enough.
True leader my foot. Back in April, the Armenian ‘Ghandi declared in front of the National Assembly,” Either I am elected the PM of Armenia, or no one else will”. This sounds more like a power grab and NOT democracy.
Yep Power grabbed by the people …I hear the LSD is really good in your part of the world and you are proving it.
Mob uprising should be challenged with democratic uprising. We have seen both happening at different times under different circumstances. Try to differentiate between ‘black democracy’ (mob uprising) and white democratic uprising. The white does not necessarily cover always the black one.
