The national anthem of Armenia was not played on New Year's Eve. Arman Abovyan, a member of the opposition Prosperous Armenia faction in parliament, wrote about it on Facebook.

"Let me recall that this requirement is clearly specified by law," he added, in particular. “The deep respect for the anthem of the Republic of Armenia is the sacred duty of every citizen.

Violation of the requirements of this law gives rise to liability in the manner prescribed by law."
