ArmInfo. "After the revolution the society actively sorts various "conspiracy theories" that ex-President Serzh Sargsyan and his son-in-law Mikael Minasyan organized it, and so, all those who think so simply do not respect our people, those hundreds of thousands of people who for several months participated in protest actions and achieved victory, "Nikol Pashinyan, acting Prime Minister, said at a press conference today.
He also touched on other accusations against himself and his political team: "Now they began to speculate on the issue of sexual minorities, it is asked, were these people born after the revolution, did they not exist under the previous authorities? Those who accuse us of complicity with the LGBT community, let they will answer one question - what should we do with an RA citizen who declared his unconventional sexual orientation? We have to expel him, kill him, and quarter him? Let him answer this question, "he said, recalling that during the reign of RPA play up a list of those members of the government who had sexual orientation. "For some reason, these people, who today speak so loudly about this problem, then were silent and did not finance various protest actions, as they are doing now. If these people want the truth, then we will open it to the end, and they will find themselves in a very awkward position, "said Pashinyan.
Referring to other charges, regarding the fact that, allegedly, the new government encourages anti-rumble protest actions, Pashinyan said that if this were the case, these actions would continue to this day. "We did everything to stop and prevent them. But, let's be honest, why did these actions break out? This is a manifestation of public sentiment towards the clergy, which is largely dictated by their actions," the acting president noted. premiere.
As for why the government rejected the bill on granting state protection to the Catholicos of all Armenians, Pashinyan noted that the RPA had made appropriate amendments to the law on high-ranking officials. "The Catholicos is not an official. And besides, I don't think that it's very honorable to endow with the state guard of the Catholicos of the country, 90% of whose population are followers of the Armenian Apostolic Church," he said.
