Pashinyan's Response: Those Who Operate Under the Logic of Violence Act Against Armenia
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan made a Facebook post. Below is the translation:
"Any attempt to solve issues through violence in Armenia should be met with a strong legal response.
All those who operate under the logic of violence, deception, and the spread of falsehoods in the New Armenia are acting against Armenia, against democracy, against the people."
It is noteworthy that earlier, the former advisor to Police Chief Vladimir Gasparyan, Narek Malyan, reported via his Facebook page that he was attacked in the evening. He indicated that the individuals who attacked him are members of the "Restart" initiative.
According to Infocom, later, initiative member Dav Simonian stated, "We wanted to throw Narek Malyan into the trash, and the police detained him."
He wrote on his Facebook page: "Dear friends, I want to address my recent post, which unfortunately was not fully understood. The issue is that I made my post from inside a police car, and it is clear that time was very limited...
We all know Malyan's manipulations well, and it was necessary to briefly explain what action we were trying to undertake and where we are currently located, so that the media would not be filled solely with false information...
I want to specifically state that my post did not contain any elements of pride...
P.S. In a few hours, we will publish the video of the entire process."
