Former Director of the National Security Service (NSS), Chairman of the Homeland Party Artur Vanetsyan urged Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to stop posting photos and videos of people violating the safety rules on Facebook.

“This photo campaign is carried out in such a sloppy and untalented way. It’s a sin to make the country a subject of mockery. Don’t do it, just don’t do it!” Vanetsyan tweeted.

Pashinyan has been sharing photographs and videos of people not practicing social distancing or wearing face masks for a few days already, showing that they fail to comply with the anti-coronavirus rules set by the Commandant’s Office.

It turns out that many of the photos and videos the premier has receives were made days or even years ago. The posts have triggered criticism and offensive remarks about the alleged violators from Facebook users.

Pashinyan had to remove some photos and videos obviously containing disinformation from his Facebook page.
