the National Assembly of Armenia. During a discussion on corruption
and impunity, the Prime Minister lost his temper and threatened to
send the opposition to the basements of the National Security

Pashinyan's behavior, describing it as unnatural, anti-democratic,
and extremely dangerous. The initiative pointed out that such
statements, along with Pashinyan's unpredictable behavior, sever his
connection to legal obligations. "There are, apparently, issues with
the prime minister's mental health, raising doubts about the legality
of his ongoing tenure," the lawyers concluded.
