Will You Explain How You Were Planning to Form a Coalition with Dogi: Allen Simonyan

The President of the National Assembly, Allen Simonyan, continues his series of posts regarding former mayor Hayk Marutyan.

“Listen here, mayor, I remembered that it's not about the presentation with silly expressions that you sold tickets for 20,000 drams, using our name, to people while in the mornings pretending to fight for a 50 dram transport fare. When you came with Garni Artachok, it seemed like you also wanted to become a mayor. When I asked how that could be, you said, ‘Why can’t it be that two friends fall in love with the same girl?’ I couldn't believe that you have such a level of dishonesty, that you could fall in love with your friend’s beloved and that the mayor’s seat is love for you.

Now you sit there laughing falsely and saying that it’s us who are dead in the chair. Wherever you sit, you talk about my glands; now will you explain how you were planning to form a coalition with Dogi, who has insulted everyone and said whatever he wanted about families and women, even strangers? It’s as if he entered people’s homes and families, but that doesn’t matter—it’s all about my glands. Because he could have voted, and you would again have the CHAIR. What's the price of your decency? Yes, it's true—I forgot that when two friends fall in love with the same girl (the chair), one can step over all principles, right?

But what can I expect from a person who: 1) Could take a home from a newborn with heart health issues, wallowing in money? What should I expect? 2) Makes money on friends and insults them behind their backs while smiling in their faces? What should I expect? 3) Who makes money under the pretext of distributing food to the needy? What should I expect? 4) Who behaves in such a way with his friends that they prefer not only to avoid him but also leave the room upon hearing his name? What should I expect? 5) Who can betray his principles for the chair and crawl under someone like Dogi? What should I expect? 6) 7) ...You will answer these questions not to me but to journalists. They will ask you, and you will continue pretending you don’t see this, but you won’t be able to evade it. Everyone will read it—your closest ones, journalists, your former friends. I’ve told you this won’t stop. You can call me to discuss this; I’m even willing to meet with you privately, or you can wait until the elections are over, gather your baggage, and fly home to Prague or Vienna. But the truth is, you should call me,” Simonyan wrote.
