The candidacy of Hayk Marutyan is in line with the spirit of the velvet revolution in Armenia, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said during the rally of the  "My step" bloc.

The Prime Minister reminded that he had repeatedly stated that the model of success should be changed in Armenia. 

According to him, the basis of the previous model was to have good acquaintances who could manipulate the election results. The new model is to achieve success through talent and ability.

In this context, Pashinyan said that Marutyan did not search for high-ranking patrons, but decided to realize his talent without any patron.
