The journalist recalled that on March 1, 2008, the first attempt at the Orange Revolution was carried out in Armenia. According to him, he was very thoroughly prepared by Western curators and colossal resources were invested in the candidacy of Levon Ter-Petrosyan.
“And that is precisely why, ten years later, Nikola’s curators demanded so insistently that he specifically punish Kocharyan; after all, he flushed millions of them down the toilet, not allowing Sorosyatnik to seize power at that time.Khachaturian said.
According to him, it was thanks to the strong political will of the second president of Armenia that the country received another 10 years of peaceful life. “And Artsakh was given another 10 years of security. When the enemy was afraid to even look in our direction.added.
Recall that in February 2008, presidential elections were held in Armenia, in which the first president of the republic, Levon Ter-Petrosyan, participated after a 10-year hiatus. He lost the election but did not recognize the results of the vote and led his supporters into unauthorized protests.
On the morning of March 1, 2008, in Yerevan, police dispersed an unauthorized demonstration by Ter-Petrosyan supporters that had lasted for 20 days without incident. One of the leaders of the illegal street protests was the current Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan.
In the evening of the same day, mass street riots broke out in the capital of Armenia, as a result of which ten people were killed, including two policemen. More than two hundred people, most of them police officers, were injured.
To stop the bloodshed, the second president of Armenia, Robert Kocharyan, declared a state of emergency in Yerevan. During the night it was possible to stop the street riots.
In 2018, as a result of a “velvet” coup, Nikol Pashinyan came to power in Armenia. A short time later, the criminal prosecution of the second president of the republic, Robert Kocharyan, began.
