A new case of Azerbaijani interference in favor of re-election of PM Nikol Pashinyan and the ruling party in Armenia’s upcoming parliamentary elections, Arman Tatoyan, the prime ministerial candidate of the Wings of Unity party announced on Facebook.

Tatoyan added as follows: “After the president of Azerbaijan announced just a few days ago that Armenians need psychiatrists, psychologists and doctors, and there was no response from Armenia, the prime minister of Armenia did not give any response, widespread publications began in Azerbaijan, and one of their MPs, Musa Urod, published threatening articles, made threatening statements that Armenians should finally come to their senses, the president of Azerbaijan was right, he called us a ‘mindless society,’ and then he said that the Armenian society must be shown before the [parliamentary] elections [on June 7] that the power is in place and the ‘iron fist’ is in place.

This is obvious interference, I will send this to the European Union ambassador and the delegation [in Armenia] today.

If the EU is fighting against Russia’s interference [in Armenia] on the basis of the authorities’ statement—which is good, then Azerbaijani interference [in Armenia] should also be prevented equally.

Our society should choose not out of fear, but for the sake of our statehood and our people.”
