The former ones say, "This government is against our national values, it is pro-Western, it is pro-European." They say this, then they run to the corridors of Europe, start crying [saying], “We are being pressured in Armenia.” Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said this during the YES campaign—in the forthcoming referendum on constitutional amendments—in Meghri town.

"Why have you gone, petitioned to do to the Europeans?" Pashinyan asked the former Armenian authorities and added. “Come, tell your people. Say [to them], 'We are being pressured.' Come out to the people, say, 'We are being pressured.' On the contrary, today the people are criticizing us, saying, 'You are playing around too much with them.’”
