Pashinyan Demands 6 Million Drams and a Denial from Karapetyan Over 'Mushroom Incident'

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has filed a lawsuit against the leader of the 'Strong Armenia' party, Samvel Karapetyan. He is demanding a denial of Karapetyan's statement that Pashinyan brought hallucinogenic mushrooms from China and extorted 6 million drams from him.

This information comes from the 'DataLex' information system. It is worth noting that Samvel Karapetyan, the Prime Ministerial candidate from the 'Strong Armenia' bloc, claimed that during Pashinyan's visit to China last year, he attempted to use hallucinogenic mushrooms at exclusive restaurants. Karapetyan stated that, according to his sources, 'the shipment had come' and he brought about 1 ton back to Armenia.

The judge has already accepted the case for proceedings. Earlier, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced that he intended to sue Samvel Karapetyan for this statement.
