YEREVAN. – Dear reporters, today is [the late defense minister and PM] Vazgen Sargsyan's birthday; I do not answer any questions. The minister of defense of Armenia, Vagharshak Harutyunyan, on Friday told this to reporters at Yerablur Military Pantheon in the capital Yerevan, when asked to comment on the statement—demanding the resignation of PM Nikol Pashinyan and his government—by numerous high-ranking officers of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, and whether this is an attempt of a military coup.

The minister did not respond to the numerous questions by the reporters, and he just said: "You are obstructing me."
