The information which [former ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) MP] Armen Ashotyan made public yesterday [Wednesday] at the NA [National Assembly], that glasses were broken, cars were damaged, there were incidents during the rally on the evening of October 2, is not confirmed.

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on Thursday wrote the aforesaid on Facebook.

“I suggest that Mr. Ashotyan publicize the [respective] incidents one by one, so that the police will have the opportunity to investigate them,” Pashinyan added.

As reported earlier, the NA on Tuesday passed the controversial bill on making amendments to the Constitutional Law on the Statute of the National Assembly. But as per Prime Minister Pashinyan and the NA “Way Out” (Yelk) Faction, this proposed law will enable to prevent the holding of a snap parliamentary election once the PM resigns from office.

The RPA, the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Dashnaktsutyun Party, and the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP)-supported “Tsarukyan” factions in parliament voted for this bill.

Subsequently, and upon the call by the PM, thousands of people blocked the NA building, from Tuesday night to early Wednesday morning. As a result, the deputies were “stranded” in the parliament building over night.
