ArmInfo. I do not repeat the same thing several times. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said this on April 10 in an interview with reporters on the question of whether he continues to assert that the SRC officer must resign because of the dirty flag of the Republic of Armenia in his office.
When asked by journalists about whether it is acceptable from the point of view of the law, Pashinyan said: "If someone thinks that the Prime Minister of Armenia cannot protect the flag of the country, then our ideas about the state are very different," the Prime Minister stressed.
To note, on April 9, during his visit to the customs office of Noragavit, the prime minister, having seen the dirty Armenian tricolor in one of the offices, ordered the dismissal of an SRC officer sitting in that office. Moreover, the prime minister publicly in front of the cameras in a rude manner made a remark to him, ordered him to wash the flag himself. And then write a resignation letter. The prime minister also ordered the dismissal of all employees of the customs point who were on duty that day because of the insanity conditions prevailing there. This statement of Pashinyan caused a public outcry; some considered this act of the prime minister reasonable, others harsh and inhuman.
