I will definitely be the next prime minister, and Pashinyan will applaud too. — Samvel Karapetyan

"I will definitely be the next prime minister, and Pashinyan will applaud," said Samvel Karapetyan, leader of the "Strong Armenia" faction, while speaking to reporters in the courthouse courtyard.

"The ideology of 'Real Armenia' is one of having no homeland; therefore, we will do everything to ensure Nikol Pashinyan cannot advance that ideology—make no mistake about it.

I have said it several times already: we will do whatever is necessary. This task requires a level-headed person, and that person is now here. Let us calmly clean this up and finish the job; and that person—you might be surprised, but it is me," Karapetyan noted.
