Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan speaking at the parliament today referred to the incident between the deputies, saying that he condemns each manifestation of violence.

“I want to stress that I condemn any kind of violence with all its manifestations and not only physical but moral, psychological, and I must stress that for already two years the revolution team, including the parliamentary majority and this government are consistently and continuously being subjected to moral and psychological violence,” Pashinyan said.

He stressed that the women MPs from political majority are being threatened in social media, lies are being disseminated about My Step deputies.

“All this is aimed at breaking the political majority, at ruining the trust existing between the people and the political majority,” Pashinyan said.

Speaking about the meeting with Edmon Marukyan, Pashinyan said that he expressed concern that the Bright Armenia is inseparable part of the plan of violence.

The PM described today’s incident as provocation.

“After viewing the footage several times I may only describe it as a provocation. Of course, I condemn that we are yielding to the provocations. I consider that what happened today is our and personally my biggest defeat since the revolution but let it not light hopes among anyone,” he said.
