During a briefing with reporters at the National Assembly of Armenia Wednesday, the chief of staff of the prime minister's office, Arayik Harutyunyan, addressed the criticisms related to PM Nikol Pashinyan's congratulatory message on the victory of Georgia's ruling Georgian Dream party in the recent parliamentary election in that country.

"If Prime Minister Pashinyan congratulated the prime minister of Georgia, then we have assessed such step as correct in the given period," said Harutyunyan.
