"Hraparak" newspaper writes:
"Yesterday, a funeral was held in the National Assembly without the deceased. Nikol Pashinyan's backpackers, the CP deputies, silently mourned for their colleagues Narek Zeynalyan and Hovik Aghazaryan, to whom Prime Minister Pashinyan "sent a WhatsApp SMS" urging them to give up their mandates.
CP deputies categorically refused to exchange words with journalists, even more so, to express their opinion about Pashinyan's "terrible judgment", probably fearing that if he dismissed Zeynalyan and Aghazaryan for such minor "misdemeanors", what do you know, what could he do for it? to have such a "seizure" in the near future and deprive them of their mandate.
There was a general opinion that the "vozhd" has become unpredictable and dangerous: it does not recognize a red line, nor does it take into account its former "zaslugas"; whoever falls under the "door" at a bad moment, is "headed", and that the atmosphere terrifies the CP members who are used to the hot cabinets of the parliament, who spend the whole year abroad at the expense of the state, who have neither a normal profession nor work experience, so that they can ensure their well-being by being deprived of being in power.
The atmosphere in Narek Zeynalyan's office was especially heavy. In the morning, a group of colleagues with mournful faces entered the MP's office, perhaps to console, perhaps to suggest how to soften Nikol Pashinyan's heart at the upcoming board meeting in the evening, to convince him to withdraw from his decision. were. Lusine Badalyan, aka Lulu, who, they say, is taking the worst of what happened and even intends to resign the mandate with Zeynalyan. Armen Khachatryan, Arpi Davoyan, Narek Ghahramanyan, Rustam Bakoyan were also here. Andranik Kocharyan also visited them from time to time. Zeynalyan himself, who, according to his colleagues, had spent the previous day in his office until late in the evening, was quite sad, had no desire to talk to journalists. We learned that after thinking for a day, yesterday afternoon he conveyed his agreement to the Prime Minister that he was ready to fulfill the leader's desire, or rather the compulsion, to put down the mandate.
In this team, there is almost no resource to fight for their rights, to resist. everyone is ready to fulfill even the most illegal demand of the Prime Minister. It is said that the explanation of that demand was roughly like this, that it was not possible to make such a speech against Argishti Kyaramyan, the head of the Investigative Committee appointed by the Prime Minister, and to discredit him. Let us remind you that the speech was made during the famous NA hearings of Narek Zeynalyan. it is about the speech, during which he made a remark to Kyaramyan, who had gone too far, that he is not at his workplace, one should not talk to deputies with hands and feet, one should express himself respectfully. It turns out that these observations, worthy of a deputy, were not to Pashinyan's heart, he only "backpacks" tolerates and considers every manifestation of dignified behavior as a challenge to him, and Zeynalyan tried to give a speech befitting a representative of the main political body of the country, so this admonition is not unexpected. Nikol Pashinyan does not need a political body - he only keeps slaves, spineless and undignified people in his alongside, which uncomplainingly carry out his instructions. Already in the evening, Zeynalyan published the news of his resignation on his page, ironically emphasizing that he did it on his own initiative.
We learned that Pashinyan also sent the same message to Hovik Aghazaryan, the main "hero" of the hearings, demanding to drop the mandate. Aghazaryan, who never refused to give an interview to journalists, refused yesterday without saying anything. Those close to the deputy assured us that Aghazaryan is not one of those who surrenders easily, he will resist. It turns out that Nikol Pashinyan frees Argishti Kyaramyan, the head of the Investigative Committee, who caused the disqualification of these MPs, for his disrespectful behavior towards the legislators with primary mandate, on the other hand, he pretends to be a fair arbiter, so according to the principle of equality, if he releases his beloved Kyaramyan, so do the MPs. should be punished.
But the irony is that Nikol Pashinyan is not going to keep even the formal aspect of the Constitution, that the deputy, according to the mother law, is not constrained by a mandatory mandate, and no one can force him how to vote, what speech to make, Article 94 says: "The deputy represents the entire people, is not constrained by a mandatory mandate, is guided by his conscience and convictions."
On the one hand, he is acting in the government session, or he does not interfere with the functions of law enforcement officers, they were free, he did not sign their decisions.
On the other hand, he dismisses the officials protected by the Constitution, the leaders of the structures considered independent and the legislators elected by the primary mandate. Any minority independence is not encouraged by this person. But people don't understand what can cause them to be thrown into the street.
Although, of course, they voluntarily chose the status of being backpackers and in these years have thoroughly strengthened it by tolerating any arbitrariness and crime of Pashinyan."
