ARF needs to wake up and smell the coffee! People of Armenia has rejected your party and you have no place in the Parliament. Get off your arrogant attitude and re-invent yourself. Otherwise, you will die along with the Republican Party of Armenia. You have followed the path of corruption and deceit. This is your ultimate punishment.
The ARF even received less than the RPA!
The ARF is a diaspora party. It’s obvious the people of Armenia have no use for them. Opposing the ARF is a Soviet indoctrinated mentality.
This has to be one of the worst election result in the history of Armenia. Armenians of Armenia, shame on you. You have elected Nikol Pashinyan. This man will destroy the armenian nation. Mark my words, in 1 year or less, there will be mass protests in Armenia against Nikol Pashinyan and his government.
