Armenia is gradually falling into the abyss of totalitarianism, Republican Party of Armenia spokesman Eduard Sharmazanov told journalists today, commenting on the results of local elections.

Under such circumstances, according to the oppositionist, it makes no sense to pay much attention to the local elections. At the same time, according to him, the defeat of the current government in a number of communities is a direct evidence of people's disappointment.

"A large part of our society is disappointed in the current government and does not see their future with it. They do not see a future with Nikol Pashinyan and "Nicolism." Nevertheless, there are also communities in which Pashinian's team has managed to make clear gains. I can only wish the citizens who elected Nikola not to be disappointed in the future. But who did they choose and what? Did they choose peace? Defeat, perhaps? Or a new war? They chose the surrender of large territories of Armenia to the enemy ... That's what they chose," Sharmazanov said.
