Members of the “My Step” anti-government movement brought their protests to an end today at a mass rally in Yerevan’s Republic Square.
“The person who comes to the homeland can never return”
Nikol Pashinyan took his anti-government message to the towns of Gyumri and Vanadzor:
Saying that no one had the moral right to snatch the people’s victory from their grasp, Prosperous Party of Armenia (PAP) head Gagik Tsarukyan announced that he would not run as a candidate in the election for prime minister, scheduled for May 1 in the parliament and that he and the other PAP MPs would vote for Nikol Pashinyan, the people’s candidate.
At an anti-government rally in Vanadzor today protest leader Nikol Pashinyan said the decision of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) not to nominate a candidate in the May 1 election for a new prime minister “isn't bad, but neither good”.
Sharmazanov told reporters that the move was aimed to deflating tensions in the country and out of national security concerns.
The police say that any attempts to circumvent police barricades or to enter government buildings will be seen as a provocation and dealt with accordingly.
The two discussed the current political situation in Armenia, this according to the Holy See’s Press Department.
We are not Russia’s enemy, and certainly not enemies of our own country, inclined to take our country down the road of adventurism. There will be no geo-political reversals once assume power.
