The rule of law operates in Armenia, and all citizens have the same rights and obligations, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said during PACE spring session.

His remarks came in response to comment on PACE delegate’s quoting about the LGBT Forum in Yerevan last November.

“As to the LGBT community, I mentioned that Armenia is committed to the rule of law and all citizens have the same rights and obligations in the Republic of Armenia. I heard about the case mentioned, but to be frank I cannot tell you the reasons why that event was cancelled, or why it was planned, when it was planned and what event it was. I honestly only know about the problem from a couple of posts on social media. I am afraid I do not know enough to give a more detailed answer,” he said.
