YEREVAN. – Hraparak daily of Armenia writes: Over the weekend, Nikol Pashinyan visited the villages of the Ararat region.

Remarkably, the visit came as a surprise even to the deputies elected from this province, which means that Pashinyan went there not more in connection with some local issues, but to prove something to the opposition, to show that the people are with him, love him, take pictures, and do not insult him.

 "However, all those scenes, which were received from the Government in the form of several hundred photos, were the result of painstaking work done in advance, with all the forces - from the Mayor of Vedi Garik Sargsyan, the governor to the law enforcement officers - involved in this. The work was done in advance; Pashinyan himself was escorted from village to village to avoid unpleasant surprises. The crowd moved with them from village to village," Hraparak notes.
