Ruling MP slams “ideologically poor opposition”

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia has never had an opposition so financially wealthy yet so ideologically bankrupt, Hayk Konjoryan, head of the Civil Contract faction in the National Assembly, wrote on his Facebook page.

He added that in democratic Armenia, ideas prevail over money.

“The team of Russian oligarch Samvel Karapetyan over the past month has stated that they will create a Ministry of Sex, that Kirants has been handed over to Azerbaijan, and that Gyumri is a village. This list will continue.

This is a story about the poverty of money. You can rent the best halls and buses with money, but you cannot fill them with thought. You can hire the world’s best lawyers, but you cannot buy facts.

And the fact is that Armenia has never had an opposition so financially rich and so ideologically impoverished. An opposition with luxurious offices and miserable ideas.

This is an achievement. In democratic Armenia, ideas defeat money. This is a luxury that only democracy allows. We will defend this achievement,” he wrote.

Parliamentary elections in Armenia are scheduled for June 7, 2026.
