Socialist Party MP Eduard Shalsi has stated that the two sides of the citizens' protest on the National Martyrs' Boulevard do not match up, according to him. He said that on the one hand there are the real concerns of the citizens, and on the other hand there are vulgar speeches, old slogans, and nationalist or vulgar articulations.
"In this protest, we all know that there is no single picture. So there are a variety of voices from different segments of the population and there are two axes that, in my opinion, in our opinion, do not match each other. One, for example, is the fact that there are very strange speeches, there is vulgar, banal vocabulary. There are old slogans, traitors, there are nationalist articulations, there are ordinary articulations, which in my opinion conflict with a healthy part of the protesters.
"On the other hand, at least from the clarification of some of the speeches that we have seen, we have seen some structured, clear speeches, with real issues, with remarks that, according to us and according to me, are very fair," he emphasized on A2 CNN.
He added that over the past few days he has held conversations with citizens participating in the protest to better understand the reasons for their dissatisfaction.
"I have about a week, we have our friends, I have a cousin of mine who I said I love very much, I respect him very much, and I have been spending 10 days in the mornings getting to know these people better, drinking coffee and understanding their concerns, and they are real concerns," he continued.
He praised the civic protest and said that on one of these days he had passed by the protesters on the Boulevard and no one had insulted or offended him.
"On the second or third day of the protest, I happened to be at the Twin Towers and because the car couldn't pick me up, I had to walk to the shalvaret and I came across, let's say, a large number of protesters. To tell the truth, no one insulted me. No one offended me. Someone told me that famous phrase of mine.
I had some friends. I also saw a cousin of mine who I love very much and respect very much for the truth. So I saw faces I would say beautiful that for a moment I said should I go back? Even the memory of a friend of mine put his arm around me and said go and protest too. and I saw an environment of men, women, young people, children with strollers, mothers, daughters that for a moment I said let me go back and listen to what they are saying for a moment.
