"Unprecedented shame!": politician about the non-participation of the Armenian contingent in the Victory Parade

"The non—participation of the Armenian military contingent in the Victory Parade is an unprecedented disgrace!" The head of the opposition Armenian Alliance party, former member of the Armenian Parliament Tigran Urikhanyan, told NovostiNK. According to him, "this is a mockery of the history of our people, to the memory of hundreds of thousands of Armenians who participated in the Great Patriotic War, it is a continuation of the dirty behavior of the treacherous Armenian authorities and manifestations of cheap blackmail against Russia."

"Coming to the parade, Nikol set himself the task of gaining Russia's loyalty on the eve of the upcoming elections, but since in reality he will by no means shy away from the Western Turkish directives, the essence of which certainly boils down to the complete withdrawal of the Russian presence from the region, then in the form of a provincial, he tried once again to Russia is facing the fact," the former parliamentarian said.

According to him, we must not forget that he (Nikol Pashinyan. — Ed.) was engaged in petty "journalistic" blackmail and fraud: "this is his essence. Unfortunately, our people are suffering now because of this. I really hope that the government will change in Armenia soon, which will allow the country to get out of the disastrous situation and revive after a huge tragedy."

The publication reminds that Tigran Urikhanyan is now forced to stay on the territory of the Russian Federation, as he is being persecuted by the Armenian authorities for political reasons for anti-government appeals.

It should be noted that Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan participated in the events to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War in Moscow, but the Armenian military contingent was not represented at the parade. Unlike the Azerbaijani one, although Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev did not arrive in Moscow.
