Is Pashinyan ready to apologize for  Alen Simonyan`s remarks, who  criticized Artsakh people for their lack of willingness to fight to  the end

ArmInfo. < Are you in solidarity with the pathetic narrative of the Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia Alen Simonyan, or are you willing to apologize for the statements by a member of your team?>,  Levon Kocharyan, an MP from the opposition <Hayastan> Faction, asked  Prime Minister  Nikol Pashinyan during the government hour in parliament on February 12.  

The day before, Alen Simonyan criticized the people of Artsakh for  not fighting against the Azerbaijanis in the last war. <You left, you  left  because it was unsafe. Although you could have stayed and  fought to the end, but you left," the speaker of the parliament said  during a briefing with journalists in the parliament, when a  journalist from Artsakh asked  about when she could return to her  homeland. The speaker of the National Assembly pointed out that the  people of Artsakh had the opportunity to fight with the weapons that  the Republic of Armenia left there.

"We have yet to understand which conversations are pathetic and which  are not, " Pashinyan retorted.  According to him, if Levon Kocharyan  has the opportunity to express his opinion from the parliamentary  rostrum and on other platforms, then others also have the same right.   "There are so many factual errors in your question, and if I address  them, it may turn out that you should apologize, " he continued.  At  the same time, he expressed surprise that <they> are still talking  about the negotiation process, recognition or non-recognition of the  status of Nagorno-Karabakh. "Our common problem is that we do not  want to face reality," the head of the Cabinet said, once again  recalling his earlier proposal to discuss the negotiations around  Artsakh with former leaders of Armenia.
