ArmInfo.Ex-president of Georgia, leader of the Ukrainian party "Rukh Novikhikh Sistem" Mikhail Saakashvili stated that he is not familiar with the leader of the protests in Armenia, the oppositionist Nikol Pashinyan. He wrote about this in Facebook.
"Some idiots in the Armenian National Assembly accused Pashinyan of having relations with me, I do not know Pashinyan, but I want to answer these deputies: you have problems not with an international conspiracy, but with your own people, who are bored with your theft and your cynicism." Armenia will be free from corruption and successful! " - Saakashvili wrote.
On the eve of a special meeting of the National Assembly in the elections of the Prime Minister of Armenia, MP of the RPA faction Tachat Vardapetyan asked the candidate for the premier Nikol Pashinyan to comment on the positive reaction of Mikhail Saakashvili and Alexander Navalny to recent events in Armenia. "I personally do not know Mikheil Saakashvili and I never had any direct or indirect contacts with him, the same goes for Alexander Navalny. The question is settled," Pashinyan said. As Pashinyan pointed out, people of different nationalities and professions express their opinion on the events in Armenia.
On April 23, immediately after the resignation of Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan, former Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili congratulated the Armenian people on their victory in the "velvet revolution." Saakashvili noted that today he was convinced that Armenia has a great future. "I support you, we will always be with you. Thank you for what you did. In addition, one of the leaders of the Russian opposition, the head of the Anti-Corruption Fund, Alexei Navalny, made a video message in which he stated that Serzh Sargsyan had turned Armenia into one of the most corrupt countries in the world. "Well, that's what happened in a normal society - people peacefully went out into the street. Ten days passed and Sargsyan was forced to resign as a result of absolutely peaceful and lawful actions of the protesters," concluded Aleksey Navalny.
