Boycotting to just boycott; we need to come out of the situation where we simply repeat the same things, especially when that is being flavored by “manly” language. During the election campaign, while speaking with Tert.am (interview video in Armenian), ARF campaign list head Armen Rusdamyan.

“If this continues this way, at the end of the day it will become street language war and passions will be exacerbated to the extent that it is inappropriate for the significance of the elections we are talking about,” he said.

As to the accusations of Hrant Margaryan and Nikol Pashinyan, Armen Rustamyan said: “Nikol Pashinyan says that the public opinion manipulation is on our side, but the biggest manipulation is done by him when he manipulates Hrant Margaryan’s words. And what Hrant Margaryan says is the simplest truth that one should not consider those who stress the importance of the Artsakh war as thieves. ” He called on Nikol Pashinyan if he had a certain person in his mind, to say so in a straightforward address.

Armen Rustamyan in any case thinks that Nikol Pashinyan was misinformed.

He [Rustamyan] notes that in terms of security one cannot be silent.

According to him, if he [Pashinyan] thinks that this will show Azerbaijan our weakness, then Azerbaijan is not the one who knows the situation. “When they speak, they say “they [the Armenian army] does not have underwear- shirts to wear, does that not show the weakness of the military, come attack” adding that they [the ARF] will only be happy with the unveiling of the robberies that have taken place.

He noted that the ARF has not participated in the robbing of our nation, and it that were the case they would note one oligarch or individual who had a monopoly. “Well, when they say we have been with them so much, we have not been that close to them that they cannot name any ARF member [in corruption allegations],” he said.

Rustamyan said that this atmosphere, “plastering walls”, “throwing from the neck”, mixing wet and dry, and similar statements do not contribute to the army’s combat readiness. “It is enough to make ridiculous announcements; if there is anything to do, to clarify, punish the man,” he said.

Armen Rustamyan mentioned that the society does not need to “color” itself [in reference to My Step (Im Kayle) splitting the people into blacks and whites] and it will not be a road to a good place. He expressed conviction that they will be in the National Assembly. “But we also have the belief that regardless of whether or not they want to take into account the existence of ARF, the ARF will continue to live. There are great challenges and dangers, instead of talking, they “eat” each other. This aggression only creates fertile land for the enemy, “he said.
