HAK Rep: A Large Segment of the Nation Resembles Msra Melik
Mesrop Mesropyan, a representative of HAK who served on the campaign staff of Sasoun Mikayelyan, who was defeated in the recent parliamentary election, told reporters today that the “collective character of the Armenian people has become unfamiliar and strange to him.”
In what appeared to be an argument for the HAK’s poor showing in the election, Mesropyan made references to the national epic Daredevils of Sasoun.
“Even the most negative characters in our national epic, Tzenov Ohan and Tsran Vergo didn’t exemplify those despicable traits that now characterize a large segment of Armenia’s residents,” he said, adding that they now resemble Msra Melik, the epic’s main antagonist, due to their lying and maliciousness.
Mesropyan said that he doesn’t think that Sasoun Mikayelyan was defeated.
“People like Sasoun aren’t beaten. They can be sacrificed in the name of the fatherland, for the brighter days to come for our people, but never beaten.”
