Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has condemned the burning of the Turkish flag by participants in a torchlight procession organized by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun (ARF-D) on April 23, the eve of the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
The Prime Minister described the act as clearly provocative and tension-inducing behavior.
His press secretary, Nazeli Baghdasaryan, presented the Prime Minister’s position in response to a question from Armenpress.
According to Baghdasaryan, the Prime Minister considers such behavior irresponsible and unacceptable, noting that the burning of the flag of an internationally recognized state, especially a neighboring country, cannot be assessed otherwise.
