Hayrenik party deplores criminal persecution against opposition leader, says the only way out is Pashinyan’s resignation

Hayrenik party issued a statement relating to the search in the mansion of the leader of Prosperous Armenia party Gagik Tsarukyan early in the morning today.

“Our forecasts that Pashinyan will apply to false criminal persecutions for keeping his personal power are becoming reality. The humiliation campaign against the leader of NA's opposition faction and obvious sanction of criminal persecution against him was given at the moment when Gagik Tsarukyan came up with tough criticism of the activity of the ruling regime and demanded government’s resignation. The current pace of developments is the result of the agony of the ruling regime,” the party said in the statement, deploring the political persecution against Gagik Tsarukyan.

The party also said that the hopes of the regime to suspend the political life in the country with their punitive measures are vain.

“There is one way out from the situation – the immediate resignation of Pashinyan who has lost the sense of reality and formation of the anti-crisis government based on national consent,” the statement said.
