Pashinyan accuses Garegin B. and Robert Kocharyan of clashes in front of the National Assembly

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan blamed Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin the Second and Second President of the Republic of Armenia Robert Kocharyan for the clashes between the police and members of the "Tavush for the Motherland" movement in front of the National Assembly building. He announced this in the National Assembly, referring to the clashes that took place near the Parliament on June 12.

"There was an attack on the policemen by the members of the movement led by the All-Armenian Catholicos and Robert Kocharyan. The reaction of the police was legal and professional, in all similar cases the police will act in the same way. The protesters tried to break through the police chain by force in order to attack the highest legislative body of the country. The police protected the RA legislative institute and the RA statehood. Before the attack, someone with the title of bishop told the police to take off your helmets, because you are not in danger. After some time, the same person threw stones in the direction of those boys", Pashinyan mentioned.

He emphasized that this is all you need to know about the 2 high-ranking clerics of the Armenian Apostolic Church. The RA Prime Minister emphasized that 18 policemen and 83 citizens were injured. Speaking about their government, Pashinyan assured that they have never been and will never be a weak government. He emphasized that they will be loving, sympathetic, tolerant and helpful, but never weak, because according to him a weak government is a disaster for the state.

"We will take all necessary measures with the power of legitimacy and law to protect the state, society, democracy and sovereignty," said Pashinyan. Let's remind that on June 12, clashes started near the National Assembly building between the police and the members and supporters of the "Tavush for the Motherland" movement. The police used stun grenades, as a result of which 101 people were injured, including policemen.
