Armenian opposition MP blasts government crackdown on protesters
MP Tigran Abrahamyan of the opposition Pativ Unem faction has denounced Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s government for a crackdown on protesters demanding his resignation.
“Any approach, whether collective or individual, different from its policy is hostile for the current government,” he wrote on Facebook on Wednesday.
“It’s manifested by a violent crackdown on peaceful protesters, their arrests and attacks on institutions that ensure the country’s immunity.
“In their disgraceful activities, the Armenian authorities have picked Turkey and Azerbaijan as their allies, while international actors and organizations tacitly support them by turning a blind eye to the developments in Armenia,” the MP stated.
