You Still Need to Light a Candle Morning and Evening, That You Are Still Free: Pashinyan

The Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, made a post on his Facebook page and shared a video.

“These are images from 2008. At that time, I was in hiding. The authorities were obstructing the non-mass march organized by Anna along the streets of Yerevan, in support of political prisoners. This is how they were obstructing the rights of all citizens to assemble freely. Anna was organizing these actions because, after the state of emergency, killings, and imprisonments, very few dared to exercise their civil rights, as they could be imprisoned, beaten, or killed. And those who created this reality—from the ones who stole notary offices to those who plundered the country—are still whining about political persecution. You still need to light a candle morning and evening, that you are still free. Seed-stealing mice.”
