As I have been receiving non-stop calls from various media colleagues asking me to comment on the statements and accusations made by Nikol Pashinyan, I have to respond. PAP spokesperson Iveta Tonoyan wrote about this on her Facebook page, responding to Nikol Pashinyan’s statements about PAP leader Gagik Tsarukyan in a briefing after the government session.
In particular, he noted: “Unfortunately, recently in the Republic of Armenia, such an unhealthy atmosphere has been formed, where everyone can say or write what they want without feeling responsible. However, it is at least strange and unacceptable when this practice is adopted by the country’s prime minister.
At a time when the PAP and other political forces are busy with the processes of disputing election results, recounts and protecting the vote of every citizen, trying to restore justice, the country’s prime minister brings incomprehensible labels and assessments to the public agenda.
After all, what is there to deny?։
The expression about giving Stoika, the conversation about going to a deal with the government, which someone put into circulation the day before and I have already denied it, but today it has already reached the discussion during the Prime Minister’s briefing. PAP President Gagik Tsarukyan’s connections with the outside world, about which the whole world is aware? Yes, we have wide and open international cooperation, and we have never hidden it. Our partnership relations, official meetings and mutual visits with the United Russia Party of the Russian Federation have been publicly presented many times.
PAP is a member of the family of conservatives and reformists in Europe, implementing various programs and mutual visits. We have very good relations with a number of political, social and business circles of the Arab world, which everyone is aware of. We have partnership ties and cooperation programs with various influential US circles, which we have also talked about publicly.
Now, in the end, what should I deny or comment on?”
