ArmInfo. The behavior of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and the threats he made against opposition MPs raise doubts about the legitimacy of his continued stay in power, as noted in a statement by the " Five Human Rights Defenders Initiative " following a recent scandal on May 7, 2025 in 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 Service.
