The talks continuing over the whole day of the parliamentary elections finally crystallized after the results were summed up. One question is “hanging in the air”: How did our compatriots sell their votes? One should look into the eyes of the person asking the question and the fear for our country’s future will be seen, the fear the reason of which is the moral decline of our public.
How did our compatriots sell their votes? Of course, there will be people who will say no election bribe was distributed. Consequently, if people voted at their free will, with belief and conviction then one important fact should be stated: there is no injustice in our country, the public is sure of it and supports the authority. In our country the ordinary guys, the rich, the officials, the judges, the customs officers, any local official are just and all are satisfied with them, if half of the public supports the authority. In our country there is no economic injustice, no one exercises pressure on the small and medium entrepreneurship, no booths are closed because of the supermarkets of the rich which add day by day. In our country there is no monopoly and there is no overgeneralization of capital and money. Otherwise, the majority of the public wouldn’t have supported the authority. It is not true that in our country the pensioners aren’t able to meet their elementary needs, to make the utility payments and perhaps that is why those amassed before the polling stations on May 6 included many pensioners and they even didn’t hide they were going to cast a vote for the authority. The social situation in our country is fine, salaries are high, prices are low, everyone lives a careless life and believes in tomorrow. Otherwise, the majority of the public wouldn’t have voted for the authority. There is no emigration in Armenia, and those who emigrated by mistake dream of returning to their prosperous homeland and live there well. The opinions heard at any step and at any moment that the emigration has reached a dangerous rate are a lie. Otherwise, the majority of the public wouldn’t have voted for the authority. Destroying the forests of Teghut is correct, leaving hundreds of people homeless explaining that with meeting state needs is correct. The youth who complained against it were wrong. Otherwise, the majority of the public wouldn’t have voted for the authority. There is no justice in our country, pensioners aren’t able to live, the owners of booths aren’t able to survive, the fathers of families aren’t able to afford the future of their children and the youth are thinking about leaving the country.
This is the reality, which was once again painted in colours, for one simple reason: the majority of the Armenian voters sold their votes. People went to the polls and not being ashamed, sold their votes publicly, knowing very well it would back-fire. They sold their votes because of their social situation, in order to be able to buy medicine, to afford their home for at least one day or with a hope to buy a toy for their child.
And the voters who sold their votes know very well that tomorrow when it is proposed in the parliament to raise pensions and salaries, to decide the minimal subsistence level, the next government will reject it, in order to be able to distribute election bribe during the next elections instead of providing adequate pensions and salaries.
P.S. Waking up on May 7, those who have become blind because of their aspiration for leadership don’t even think over the fact that young mothers walking in a park with their children, the teacher giving an examination, the villager selling several cabbages in the market to earn a living, the drivers, the secretaries, their neighbours and relatives are no more citizens of Armenia for them but are people who sell their votes.
Yesterday RPA member, Minister of Education and Science Armen Ashotyan wrote in “Facebook” social network that Yerkir Media TV Company has also conducted an exit poll and proposed to guess who will be the leader in that list. I will answer, we had added the nine parties which participated in the elections with the word “money”. And “money” was the leader, the money which was distributed in Armenia unsparingly. Only money and election bribe won in the May 6 elections.
