There was no pressure on the Corruption Prevention Commission due to  Pashinyan`s forced apology for his social media post addressed to the  clergy

ArmInfoThere was no pressure on the Armenian government's Corruption Prevention Commission due to its conclusion regarding Prime Minister Nikol  Pashinyan's social media post addressed to the clergy, for which Pashinyan was subsequently forced to apologize. Acting Chairperson of the Commission, Mariam Galstyan, stated this in a conversation with journalists on October 29 in parliament.

Recall, on June 2 of this year, the commission initiated proceedings  regarding Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's Facebook posts from  May  30 ("Your Holiness, keep having sex with your uncle's wife, what do  you care about me?" - ed.) and June 2. The commission concluded that  the Prime Minister's Facebook post from May 30 contained elements of  a violation of Article 48 of the Code of Conduct. The commission  concluded that Pashinyan's use of the crude, colloquial word "dompel"  (to have sex - ed.), which refers to sexual intercourse, is  inconsistent with ethical communication standards for a person  holding public office.  Pashinyan later noted on social media that  "while he does not entirely agree with some of the assessments of the  decisions, he apologizes."

When asked if the Commission had other tools to prevent the Prime  Minister from using obscene language again, given that his apology  was limited to his status, yet the head of the Cabinet did not  renounce the use of such language, Mariam Galstyan replied: "The law  states that if the Code of Conduct rules are violated, the Commission  publishes a conclusion, that officials must respond to publicly.  There are no other tools provided."

To the remark that this means that government officials can get away  with using obscene language in public with only one apology, then use  it again, then apologize again, and so on ad infinitum, the acting  head of the Commission responded that they are not the ones who write  the laws.
