The heaviest blow that I was dealt during my term as Prime Minister was when there was backlash on the Internet in Armenia after I dismissed an official who had thrown the Armenian national flag on the floor. This is what Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said during today’s online press conference.

“This was the heaviest blow that I was dealt. You might think it was after November 9^th [2020], but this was the heaviest blow, when people started asking how an official can be dismissed for throwing the national flag on the floor. This was the heaviest blow,” Pashinyan said.
