Papkian Responds to Why Nikol Pashinyan's Picture Is Hanging in His Office

“In 2018, you assured us that the times had passed when the country's leader's picture was hung next to the flag and the emblem. Just three years later, we see that phenomenon in your office. Why have the principles changed?” During a Facebook press conference, Deputy Prime Minister Papikian responded to a user’s question: “Hanging a picture of our political leader in my office is my discretionary right, which I consider correct and appropriate. We do not impose this on anyone. The difference between us and our predecessors is that we do not impose anything on anyone.”
