YEREVAN. – Armenian opposition MP Nikol Pashinyan demanded immediate release of all detained protesters during his speech in the parliament on Friday.

Addressing Energy Minister, Pashinyan said he kept secret the fact of gas price rise: “On February 17 you were asked by journalists, but gave no answer. I asked you on May 23 and you gave a negative answer. I have no questions now, as I don’t think that you will give an answer  that will be close to the truth.”

The opposition MP noted that Movsisyan must not address the parliament as a minister, since his government managed to ensure only 4-percent growth instead of 7 percent declared by Serzh Sargsyan.
