ArmInfo. All three former presidents of Armenia are trying to blame the current government for the current situation, but it had already failed prior to our taking power in 2018. RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this on March 26 during the government hour in the National Assembly.
According to him, this is the exact reason why the former presidents have refused to participate in the televised debates with the RA Prime Minister. However, even if these debates were to take place, Pashinyan threatened to "smear Ter-Petrosyan, Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan on the wall". "Since 2020, they have been trying to blame us for a situation that was already inevitable when we came to power, yet all three of them refuse to participate in televised debates," Pashinyan said. He noted that he has nothing to discuss with representatives of the former presidents. "Stop playing with our emotions, I will trample you," the head of the Armenian government emphasized, urging all three former leaders of the country to reject the services of intermediaries. The former presidents are fully aware of the likely outcome of the televised debates, the Prime Minister continued, which is why they are declining to participate.
