YEREVAN. – In connection with the state of Amulsar we said, "Dear people, all this was going on right before your eyes for 5 years. Why didn't you raise your voice [then]?" Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this at the government session today.

"They were saying, 'They would have arrested us, the authorities were brutal, they would have persecuted us,'" he added. “Do you mean to say that normal relations in Armenia can be established only by the use of brute force? Is that what we want?

If we solve issues being guided by bribes given to us, corruption, our narrow group interests, all this will be understandable. This form of relations is absolutely unacceptable. This is an attempt to roll Armenia back into another logic.”
