Opposition MP: Pashinyan's supporters think by desecrating state symbols they defend their idol
Tigran Abrahamyan, an Armenian MP from the opposition With Honor (Pativ Unem) bloc, took to Facebook on Monday to condemn the desecration of state symbols by some pro-government circles.
"[Nikol] Pashinyan's supporters believe that by desecrating state symbols they are defending their idol,” he wrote.
“Those tearing up flags and hating symbols remind the Armenian people of their main mission to destroy everything connected with statehood, nation and dignity. This widespread disgrace must be stopped.
“I will never tire of saying that this is not only a matter of the exercise of the Artsakh Armenians’ right to self-determination and ensuring their security. It is also a struggle to prevent the Turkification of Armenia,” Abrahamyan said, referring to the daily protests held by the opposition to force Pashinyan from office.
