PM Nikol Pashinyan has turned Armenia into Azerbaijan, former Ambassador to the Vatican Mikael Minasyan said during his video message.

"We have always been a people and a country with the code of European civilization, but Pashinyan very quickly adopted the formula from Ilham Aliyev [Azerbaijani president] and Mehriban Aliyeva [Aliyev's spouse], based on which they rule Azerbaijan,” he added.

Mikael Minasyan gave some examples of how the Armenian leader and Armenia resembles Azerbaijan and his leader.

According to him, no monuments have even been erected in Armenia during the life of a leader. This is what is happening in Azerbaijan. 

He added that the leader’s wife never had so much influence in Armenia as Anna Hakobyan [the PM's spouse] has.

"Anna Hakobyan and Nikol Pashinyan shared the power of Armenia, financial and economic resources and dominate together. This is something that is happening in Azerbaijan," he added.

The ex-envoy noted that Pashinyan no longer hides the fact that Armenia is not a democratic country for him.

According to him, the actions against opposition Prosperous Armenia party leader Gagik Tsarukyan, ex-President Robert Kocharyan, and others are political persecution, and both the Armenian people and the international community understand that.

"Armenia and its political persecutions turned into the country that Nikol Pashinyan and Anna Hakobyan dreamed of, and all of us – the Armenian people – turned into subjects of this family. Armenia should not be the property of one family, but it is necessary to fight in the name of Armenia for this,” he said.

According to him, from the very first day of power, this couple divided the people into black and white.
