I wonder whose idea it was to urge Speaker of the Parliament of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan to give a speech and express thoughts that are clearly against laws right on the day when the experts of the Venice Commission are in Armenia. This is what former Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia Arpine Hovhannisyan wrote on her Facebook page.

“I sincerely regret that he was also entangled. The authorities aren’t sparing anyone. In reality, the speech was a prelude to the thoughts that Nikol Pashinyan is going to express in his subsequent scandalous statements,” Hovhannisyan wrote.
