Opposition split to Azerbaijan`s benefit - politician

ArmInfo.  Only Azerbaijan will benefit from the split in the opposition in Armenia. This was written on his Facebook page by Artak Zakaryan, a member of the Executive Committee of the Republican Party.

According to him, according to numerous published surveys and  sociological studies, many ordinary and decent citizens of Armenia  honestly admit that they made a mistake in 2018. Many succumbed to  promises of a better future and unwittingly became participants in  the destructive seizure of power.

"No one can blame ordinary, common citizens, because just as they  were naive and honest in their desires in 2018, they sincerely repent  and regret what happened today. And how should we treat those who  supported Nikol in 2018 and considered him an instrument to deny  Serzh Sargsyan?  Were they really so gullible that they thought that  the Western Turkish color revolutionary would then give them power,  or share power with someone? Nikol will surrender Artsakh, the  territories of Armenia, thousands of victims, the military-political  leadership of Artsakh, national interests, but he will not  voluntarily give up power to anyone," the politician noted.

He added that today the situation of the Prime Minister of the  Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan has worsened so much that both  external forces that supported him and internal political circles  that welcomed his rise to power are turning away from him.

"This is where the mechanics of separation began. This is an  understandable desire from a political and election point of view,  but before separating from anyone, they understand that they first  need to separate from Nikol. And for this, they decided to simply  pretend to be naive and, with their eyes wide open, ask the question:  "Who brought Nikol?" It would be logical if the political forces and  individuals who publicly supported and welcomed Nikolism honestly  shared the heavy burden of their own mistakes. But since supporting  Nikol is now considered a grave sin, they decided to distort reality  and, going against common sense, are trying to attribute their sins  to Serzh Sargsyan and the Republican Party. Is this true? Of course  not. In the same way, one can say that tigers live at the North Pole.  One can say that sparrows hibernate in winter, they can also say that  the capital of Armenia is Vedi. No matter how much they say,  obviously false statements will not become true. And if they really  want to remove Nikol, then they "This false and senseless nonsense  should be stopped. Everyone knows that no force, no person can  achieve a change of power on their own.  Try to separate from Nikol  without splitting the opposition potential. Otherwise, only  Azerbaijan will benefit from this," wrote Artak Zakaryan.
