An incident took place during Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s campaign in Kapan today. While Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure of Armenia, head of the YES campaign for the constitutional referendum Suren Papikyan was giving a speech, one of the citizens started screaming to have the right to ask the Prime Minister a question.

Nikol Pashinyan came down from the stage, approached the citizen and tried to calm the latter down. “I’m not here to disturb or start a fight. Somebody took the microphone from me. I’m a citizen deprived of freedom of speech,” the citizen said.

Seeing that the man isn’t calming down and can’t stop screaming, Nikol Pashinyan said he was sorry and had to go and give a speech and left.
