Freedom of speech and information is guaranteed in Armenia, but if some criminal circles spend millions on manipulating public opinion in social networks and media, then this is already a matter of national security, said Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on Thursday during the Armenian Government’s meeting.

Addressing the director of the National Security Service, Artur Vanetsyan, he said: "I hope that your institution will be able to provide concrete results in this regard. There are even fakes in social networks that call for violence under the guise of the revolution,” he said adding that such manipulations should receive very tough counterattacks.
