President of Yerevan Press Club Boris Navasardyan today told reporters that certain statements by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan are unacceptable, while others can be accepted literally, if they are addressable.

According to him, since statements such as “lay down on the asphalt” or “throw against a wall” can be police officers’ actions against offenders and might not be addressed to particular people, sometimes they are perceived as a threat to political opponents.

Touching upon the growth of hatred in the public and on the Internet, he clarified that this is not the first case of tension in the country, if we’re talking about an election campaign or the period before a referendum.

He stated that the public follows the behavior of people whom it considers successful, and in this case they are politicians, and added that it is necessary to work not only to criminalize this or that phenomenon, but also change the language of politicians during debates.
