Ordinary Armenian mothers tear the ‘mask’ off Pashinyan: Tigran Kocharyan

Nikol Pashinyan is coming face to face with reality on the streets of Yerevan and across Armenia. That is what Tigran Kocharyan, editor-in-chief of Alpha News, said on air, commenting on why the prime minister is unable to take criticism and loses his composure when confronted with accusations from ordinary citizens.
According to him, during today’s campaign event, wherever Pashinyan went in the Arabkir district, people told him things he did not want to hear.
“I even have a concern that the Yerevan district of Arabkir may soon be granted enclave status and handed over to Azerbaijan,” Kocharyan added.
As the Alpha News editor-in-chief noted, such situations will occur more and more frequently, since the very segment of the population Pashinyan has relied on and repeatedly made promises to will now tell him the truth to his face.
“It is these women who today tore the mask off Pashinyan. We effectively saw how a leader who calls himself democratic behaves like a small hysterical dictator. Many should take note of the fact that ordinary Armenian women, who are not party members or opposition figures, are telling him the truth to his face completely fearlessly. This irritates him, because it is not the reality he wants to show his supporters,” Tigran Kocharyan stressed.
