They also say that there was no revolution. Look at your faces and your sides, since there was no revolution, what are you 18 people doing sitting here?” After the session Edmon Marukyan answered the prime minister, “This is not a demonstration, sorry, this is executive power, therefore Pashinyan should do something so that we see a separation of roles between the revolutionary Nikol Pashinyan and the ruler Nikol Pashinyan.” We know the revolutionary Nikol Pashinyan very well, but the ruler Nikol Pashinyan behaved very badly today.”
