ARMENIAN OPPOSITION CANDIDATE ANGRY WITH 'BITCHY GANG'
Tert.am

Petros Makeyan, Chairman of the Democratic Homeland party, part of the
opposition bloc Armenian National Congress (ANC), is angry with the
"bitchy gang" that attacked Nikol Pashinyan, Editor-in-Chief of the
Haykakan Zhamanak (Armenian Times) newspaper.
"I saw they had no image of the Armenian woman. They were hired by
the parliamentary candidate they themselves named [Samvel Alexanyan,
who is running for parliament from election district #7]. He is trying
to play both with the country's image and with the Armenian woman's
image," Makeyan said.
On Sunday, in Yerevan's Malatya-Sebastya community, a group of women,
crying out "Go away, Nikol," demanded that the parliamentary candidate
leave their "yard" and talked about the March 1, 2008 tragedy, those
guilty of Armenia's "disasters" and so on.
According to Makeyan, yesterday's incident shows Armenia's incumbent
authorities' "real worth." They attempted to present a free and fair
election campaign to Europe, but "their nerves cracked." "That plot
against Nikol Pashinyan is a disgrace for our state and authorities,"
Makeyan said.
As to a "manifestation of democracy" by women and their wish to
see Samvel Alexanyan as their candidate, Makeyan said: "They may
say whatever you want. But we are well aware of their task and the
ways of accomplishing it. Their sayings have nothing to do with the
masterminds' purposes and programs."
Asked about the incident being a "novelty" of the 2012 election
campaign, Makeyan said that "such things" have always happened during
national elections, but it was the first "overt act."
