Behavior of Armenian premier`s wife source of hate and intolerance -  lawyer 

ArmInfo. Lawyer Arsen Babayan believes that the insults voiced by the wife of the head of the Armenian government Anna Hakobyan towards citizens who criticize her  are a manifestation of political deviation, social pathology and a  consistent distortion of civic dignity.

"When the wife of the head of government, although not holding an  official position, but actually occupying a key public role, responds  to criticism from people with words like "flea", "dumbass",  "ignoramus", "ill-mannered", then the problem goes beyond the usual  emotional reaction. Such speech, coming from the family of the ruling  elite, does not indicate strength, but emptiness. When a label is  used instead of an argument, and humiliation instead of a  counterargument, the one who demonstrates such a manifestation  becomes a source of spreading hatred and intolerance," Babayan  believes.

At the same time, the lawyer noted that if in France, a member of the  presidential family, for example, First Lady Brigitte Macron, used  such a lexicon in her public posts, especially in relation to public  figures, political opponents or war participants, the consequences  would be comprehensive, shocking and long- term, both at the social,  political, international and everyday/cultural levels.

"In France, such a statement would be considered a gross violation of  public ethics, would lead to a political crisis, a wave of public  indignation, and could also affect the president's reputation. Such  an incident could never remain just a "Facebook post". It would  become an indicator of a crisis of state power," Babayan noted.

Earlier it became known that the wife of the Armenian Prime Minister  began to speak unflatteringly about those who criticize her and her  activities. Moreover, judging by her Facebook post, Hakobyan did not  stand on ceremony with terminology. For example, she called the  sister of one of the sons of the Armenian people who died in the  44-day war a "flea". Her lexicon also included such expressions as  "worthless", "blockhead", "idiot", etc. Some experts are inclined to  believe that in this way Hakobyan is trying to distract the attention  of Armenian society from the humiliating meetings of her husband with  the leaders of Azerbaijan and Turkey in Albania on the sidelines of  the 6th summit of the European community.
