Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is talking about Shushi, Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), live on Facebook.
At Yerablur Military Pantheon in Yerevan on Thursday, a reporter asked Pashinyan whether or not Shushi was an Armenian city, and in response, Pashinyan advised this reporter to submit the question in writing and he would answer.
On Friday, this reporter went to the government building with this question written on a banner, but a woman from Pashinyan's supporters tore this banner.
On January 20, Pashinyan had raised a rhetorical question in the National Assembly as to whether Shushi was Armenian, as before the Artsakh conflict had began, more than 90 percent of Shushi’s population was Azerbaijanis. But he did not mention that before the sovietization of Azerbaijan, the Armenian population in Shushi was annihilated.
