Bright Armenia head: Authorities doing everything “to shut people’s mouths”

Many intellectuals say they do not want to say anything because are being attacked immediately by authorities, head of the opposition Bright Armenia faction Edmon Marukyan said at a briefing today.

In his words the authorities are doing everything to “shut people's mouths”.

“But these mouths will not be shut, the questions will not end,” he said.

Marukyan stressed that the current authorities are the only ones elected by people who do not admit their mistakes.

“They even did not admit that the attack on me was a mistake. They find any reason to respond,” Marukyan said.

Marukyan stressed that with their current behavior the authorities during the time will become non-legitimate.
