The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, referred to the noisy incident recorded in the Arabkir community today, when Nikol Pashinyan attacked an Armenian woman who did not share his political views. In her Telegram channel, Zakharova quoted the part of the incident that appeared in the Russian press, writing:
“The visit of Macron and Zelensky to Yerevan was not without consequences. “European values” are obvious. Or stamped on his face.”
Let’s remind that today, during the campaign in Arabkir community, Nikol Pashinyan simply attacked his political opponent’s wife, in response to the latter’s political accusations, starting to accuse and threaten.
Later, it turned out that the woman is the sister of the missing officer Hrant Papikyan and the mother of lawyer, human rights defender Tatevik Soghoyan.
