The National Security Service has recently resumed its round-the-clock
control over the members of Nikol Pashinyan’s household – carrying
out a round-the-clock patrol near Pashinyan’s apartment.

NSS investigation operatives follow members of Pashinyan’s household
everywhere – to their jobs, cafes, stores, during guest visits,
business appointments and so on. The situation is noteworthy since the
NSS had been carrying out these measures with the same enthusiasm for
about six months. Having understood probably that this is an improper
way to spend the state budget, all this was stopped after six months
passed. However, in fact, an excess budget has been accumulated in
this period and it was necessary to quickly spend it. By the way,
the beginning of these actions of the NSS coincided with publication
of a few last chapters of Nikol Pashinyan’s book – "The opposite
side of the earth", according to which it was approaching Armenia
and finally reached it from the opposite side of the earth.
