‘If So Many People Had Weapons at Home, No One Would Cling to the Nikol Regime This Much.’ Will the Author of These Words Get an Appointment?

According to some media outlets, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's team is attempting to appoint Avetik Kharabyan, the older brother of newly appointed Minister of Economy Vahan Kharabyan, as the head of the Yerevan State University Board of Trustees.

However, it is noteworthy that Avetik Kharabyan spoke about the need to liberate from the authorities with weapons around a month ago, on December 20, 2020, during a rally of the ‘Sasna Tsrer’ party. He stated, ‘If so many people had weapons at home, no one would cling to Nikol or any future Nikol regime this much.’

It seems that, for the Kharabyan brothers, becoming allies of the ‘Nikol Attached to Power’ is not a problem. The younger Kharabyan had also criticized Pashinyan’s team in an interview with Al Jazeera shortly before his appointment as a minister, accusing them of spreading lies and deceit. This was reported by the source.
