YEREVAN. – Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan doesn't care about the Constitution and the laws. Opposition figure Ruben Hakobyan, a member of Vernatun Club, and Director of the “Akunk” Center for the Political Analysis, on Saturday told this to reporters outside the National Security Service (NSS) of Armenia.
"Today, the behavior of the opposition is not adequate because you wake up every day and everyone is talking about the fact that the halls of power—represented by [PM] Nikol Pashinyan—have taken an illegal and unconstitutional direction. We understood very well that he [Pashinyan] doesn't care about both the Constitution and the laws, he does what he wants, his family ties do what they want, and state structures do not exist today, or the branches of power don’t exist today, they are under his direct coercion and compulsion and, of course, we say, ‘Enough is enough.’ He doesn't pay attention to it, naturally, we have to take equivalent steps, and those (…) are the mechanism whereby Pashinyan came to power—by closing off streets, breaking the door of the radio house [Public Radio],” he said.
According to him, if the law enforcement agencies did not give criminal assessments to Nikol Pashinyan's actions at that time, then every citizen can do what Pashinyan did.
Ruben added that he was summoned to the NSS in connection with calls to overthrow the constitutional order, in an interview Friday.
"Indeed, we must stand up for the Constitutional Court because it is the only bastion that is able to show signs of life and does not obey the dictatorial aspirations of the prime minister," Hakobyan said.
