We are talking about the program, problems, solutions; he is talking about taking away, cracking down, insulting – Tonoyan on Pashinyan

Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) spokesperson Iveta Tonoyan has published a post titled “Reaction in the logic of ‘class’.”

“Today, starting from a certain moment of the holiday, I have been receiving the same question from numerous journalists: have you heard the Prime Minister’s statement and what will your response be?

Since at that moment we were participating in the celebrations dedicated to the day in Aparan, I promised to listen and respond later. I listened and, honestly, a simple human desire arose in me: to have a prime minister in the near future whose formulations allow for a restrained and substantive response, debate, arguments, and counterarguments.

And now I am asking my fellow journalists: what should I respond to Nikol Pashinyan’s two-minute monologue today? Can you suggest good options? I am not against it.

We are talking about the program, problems, solutions; he is talking about taking away, cracking down, insulting. We are talking about internal solidarity; he is calling everyone robbers, spies, thieves, and bandits. We are talking about moving the country forward; what he is proposing is the same as eight years ago: catch, jail, put in cages, etc. I feel regret that this is the reality of our time,” Tonoyan noted.
