`You, so-called independent MP,' Zaruhi Postanjyan, a Heritage Party
MP, addressed non-partisan MP Edmon Marukyan during a meeting of the
state and legal affairs committee of the National Assembly today.
During a conversation with www.aravot.am, Edmon Marukyan assured that
opposition forces were blackmailing him and wanted to repress his
independent and free activities through blackmail, `They are not
successful in doing that, because my vote, for one, may coincide with
the majority's vote and may coincide with the opposition's vote. It
may not coincide with the position of any of them, which happened in
the Oskanian case. Now, it is a primitive method to try to make me
support the question they have raised through blackmail.'
Zaruhi Postanjyan, opposing majoritarian representation, also said
that admittedly, Edmon Marukyan was not an oligarch, but he had
appeared in the parliament thanks to certain deals.
According to Edmon Marukyan, `Zara herself knows that what she says is
a lie. So she cannot besmirch the will of no. 30 electoral district's
voters, she cannot belittle that victory by lying, telling a lie. I
also understand that the opposition representatives have appeared in a
very bad condition as a result of that election, because now they
don't have the main argument they had that exceptionally oligarchs
were elected through majoritarian representation. Let them say that
they want parties to mature, that is why they want only majoritarian
representation, but let them not say that only criminals, hooligans,
oligarchs, gangsters and rich people are elected. They say and look at
me. I cannot allow belittling my voters' will in any way by that. I
know my voters, do they know theirs? I meet with my voters all the
time, they apply to me all the time and there are parties that don't
have offices in regions. It is called an office, the logo is attached
to it, but there is no one there whom they can apply to. Therefore... as
the saying goes, don't make me tell the truth and shame the devil.
Calm down! I know quite well the weaknesses of both the government and
those speakers. Zaruhi addresses me `you, so-called independent MP.'
Now shall I address them `you, so-called oppositionists'? There are
so-called oppositionists among the oppositionists too.'
