: Pashinyan was angered by  appeal of Artsakh woman

ArmInfo. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan was angered by the appeal of an Artsakh woman, voiced by a media representative on July 25 during a press conference.

Thus, at a press conference, the journalist turned on the recording  on her phone, in which a woman from Artsakh stated that the people of  Artsakh did not authorize the Prime Minister of Armenia to recognize  Nagorno-Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan. She noted that at a time when  children in Artsakh stand in line for bread for hours, photos of  Pashinyan's daughter posted in Moscow or a basket full of food on  social networks cannot shake the people of Artsakh, (Armenian Prime  Minister Nikol Pashinyan's wife Anna Hakobyan posted on her social  network page a photo of vegetables from which she cooked dinner.  Vegetables, Hakobyan assures, she grew herself, ed. note).

<What are you trying to achieve? This is ridiculous, and I know that  you are doing it on purpose <: > But we know why we are in our  Artsakh. We were, are and will remain Armenians and will fight for  our land. We also know who brought us to such a life>, she said.

In response, the prime minister recalled that when his wife was in  Artsakh during the 44- day war, there were even few men there.  Earlier Pashinyan touched on this topic several times, responding to  criticism about the reasons for Anna Hakobyan being at the command  post. Pashinyan stated in video message that Anna Hakobyan visited  the bunker on his behalf < to support and boost the fighting spirit  of the servicemen, who kept hearing reports of the flight of  civilians from the cities>, on another occasion he stated that <the  symbolic meaning of my wife's presence was that we also ensured our  presence there>.

In addition, as the head of the Cabinet pointed out, there is nothing  reprehensible in the fact that his wife demonstrated vegetables grown  in her own garden and no one can convince him that the same  vegetables cannot be found in Artsakh in July.

He recalled the increase in Armenia's financial assistance to  Artsakh, pointing out that such records "for some reason appear in  the hands of the media belonging to Robert Kocharyan and Serzh  Sargsyan (2nd and 3rd presidents of the RA, ed. note)", considering  this record as "propaganda in order".

120,000 residents of Nagorno-Karabakh, deprived of food, medicine and  communication with the outside world, fight for survival every day.
