Arman Musinyan, spokesperson for Armenia’s first President Levon Ter-Petrosyan, responded to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s recent comments aimed at former presidents, focusing on the undisclosed Minsk Group settlement proposals.

“Remember: he’ll bite, cry, kick, scream, and threaten, appeal to higher powers, do the imaginable and the unthinkable. But he’ll never release the official Minsk Group plans for the Karabakh settlement—or Armenia’s official responses, including the 2019 plan he rejected,” Musinyan wrote on Facebook. “Don’t take it too seriously—it’s an old Ijevan habit.”

Levon Zurabyan, deputy chairman of the Armenian National Congress party, also addressed Pashinyan’s speech on his Facebook page, stating: “The hysteria shows—Nikol knows the publication of the June 2019 Minsk Group plan would spell his political death.”

Prime Minister Pashinyan made these remarks during a Q&A session in parliament on March 26, criticizing the former three presidents for refusing to debate him live on air. He claimed they had “wrapped their own capitulation around my neck.”

“That’s why I’m saying—let’s go live and talk. They all say they have nothing to debate with me. If that’s true, then shut up and sit down. I’m telling you—I’ll crush you against the wall, and your political corpses will be dragged out. Stop messing with my nerves, I’ll trample you,” Pashinyan said emotionally.
