Pashinyan threatens demonstrators with law and  "steel mandate"

ArmInfo.What does it mean that groups of students and athletes are trying to organize mass  unrest in Yerevan?, asked Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan with genuine surprise on the evening of September 21 during a Facebook live broadcast.

<One of the participants, according to our information, is connected  with the son of one of the former leaders of Armenia. Others are  students connected to the highest circles of Nagorno-Karabakh. But  whoever it is, the reaction will be very tough, and it is tough,"  Pashinyan said.

According to the prime minister, citizens want a faster and tougher  reaction, and there will be one. "They (the organizers of the  protests) want blood to be shed on the streets of Yerevan. However,  we will be within the framework of the law and the "steel mandate,"  he noted.

<But we love our fellow citizens, even those who insult us. We cannot  unleash an avalanche of hatred on people's heads. The law enforcement  system is in place, it is operating and arrests will continue, the  perpetrators will be punished," Pashinyan said.

The head of the Cabinet of Ministers called on people to remain calm  and not cross the line of legality.

In connection with Azerbaijan's aggression against Artsakh, as well  as the position of the RA authorities, there have been protests for  several days now in Yerevan, in particular near the government  building, demanding a change of power and the resignation of the head  of the Cabinet, as well as the adoption of measures to protect  Artsakh and Artsakh people.
