ArmInfo. Acting Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan today from the rostrum of parliament called for less to touch on the topic of sexual minorities.
"The less we touch on this topic, the less problems will arise from this. However, this issue requires settlement, and if we don't do this, other governments will have to do it," Pashinyan said.
At the same time, he found it difficult to say how the issue with sexual minorities should be resolved: "I myself don't know what to do, can you tell me. In Soviet times there was a special article in the Criminal Code. Now, what should we do, enter the article? Actually we need to decide whether this is a problem, and if so, how to solve it, "said Pashinyan to the MPs.
Meanwhile, at the legislative level, Armenia made a commitment to the Council of Europe to respect the rights and freedoms of sexual minorities.
