YEREVAN, MAY 22, ARMENPRESS. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has commented on the attempted kidnapping of his son and the protests which were sparked by the jailing of the suspect, who is the mother of a fallen soldier.

Pashinyan said he hasn’t asked his son to reverse his report.

“I wasn’t in Armenia when the incident happened,” Pashinyan said when asked by reporters on whether or not he’s asked his son to reverse his complaint in court.

“Before returning, I saw that legal procedures had already begun. When I was speaking with [my son], he was saying, ‘isn’t this all about issues having to be resolved lawfully in Armenia’? Now how should I respond to his?” the Armenian Premier said.

“[My son] told me, ‘I thought this was the entire purpose and goal of your political activities’. After that, I don’t have any argument to ask him [to reverse] [the complaint].”

PM Pashinyan said that everyone must realize that all issues must be resolved lawfully in Armenia.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
