Nikol Pashinyan announced from May 2 a total strike, calling from 8:15 am to close all the streets and roads of the country, the airport and the railway
ArmInfo. The Republican Party of Armenia, ignoring the opinion of 250,000 people gathered in the Republic Square, today failed to vote on my candidacy, thereby going
on an open confrontation. The opposition leader, MP Nikol Pashinyan
stated at a rally on the Republic Square.
He stated that by this step the RPA had buried itself completely. "So
tomorrow we announce a total strike." From 8:15 am we close all
streets and roads, as well as the way to the airport and the railway.
This I say as a popular candidate for the premiere. We won, but the
Republican Party refuses to recognize this victory, but we will
finish it, "Pashinyan said, urging the police to join the popular
movement, while the oppositionist again reminded that his struggle is
exclusively peaceful, and during the actions should not be violent.
"Just ignore the Republicans, make them political marginals, as if
these people do not exist at all," Pashinyan said, again putting
forward the demand to elect him as prime minister without
preconditions and alternatives.
The Republic Square, as usual, is crowded.
