Pashinyan clashes with Artsakh activist during rally

PanARMENIAN.Net - Arthur Osipyan, chairman of the Artsakh Revolutionary Party, approached Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan during a campaign event in Yerevan’s Arabkir district and asked questions regarding the Nagorno-Karabakh issue. Pashinyan repeated his previously stated position that “the Karabakh issue was a trap.”

“I am proud that I pulled Armenia out of that trap,” Pashinyan said, according to Aysor.am .

The prime minister also stated that he does not accept Armenia’s Declaration of Independence.

“It is a declaration of conflict, I do not accept it,” he said.

Arthur Osipyan accused Pashinyan of supporting corrupt practices in Artsakh.

“You distributed money through Arayik,” he said, referring to former Artsakh president Arayik Harutyunyan.

Pashinyan responded harshly, saying: “Get lost, you fool.”

Earlier during the May 18 campaign event in Arabkir, a woman approached Pashinyan and accused him of “destroying an entire young generation of the nation and stealing her homeland and brother.”

Pashinyan reacted sharply, saying: “Who are you? If you are Rob, we will force you to kneel. We will force Rob to kneel, we will force the man from Kaluga to kneel, we will force Gago to kneel, we will force Serzh to kneel.”

The prime minister also said he would “destroy” the people he listed.
