YEREVAN. – The Presidential Staff of Armenia does not consider any action against Zaruhi Postanjyan—who is returning from Strasbourg—to be right, and calls on everyone to refrain from any such initiatives.

Armenian Presidential Spokesperson Arman Saghatelyan told the aforesaid to Tert.am.

He commented on the media reports that the youth wing of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) will “give a bad reception” at the airport Saturday to Zaruhi Postanjyan—opposition Heritage Party National Assembly Faction Secretary and member of Armenia’s delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE)—by throwing eggs and tomatoes at her, for her question posed to President Serzh Sargsyan at the PACE session.

“We do not regard as right meeting Zaruhi Postanjyan at the airport by crying out any slogans or holding any actions. We are calling everyone to refrain from any such initiatives,” Saghatelyan stated.

To note, during the question and answer session at Wednesday’s PACE plenary session in Strasbourg, France, Zaruhi Postanjyan had asked Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan the following question:

“You have appeared here [in the PACE session] not by the will of the people, but [rather] as a consequence of organized crime, the theft of the Armenian people’s vote. Therefore you cannot de jure represent the will and right of the Armenian people. [So,] I’ll give you another question. Have you been to a casino in Europe and lost 70 million euros there? And who paid that amount in your stead?”
