Pashinyan: We will reveal the truth to those who exaggerate the issue of sexual minorities in Armenia, and they will find themselves in an awkward situation

ArmInfo. "After the revolution  the  society actively sorts various "conspiracy theories" that  ex-President Serzh Sargsyan and his son-in-law Mikael Minasyan  organized it, and so, all those who think so simply do not respect  our people, those hundreds of thousands of people who for several  months participated in protest actions and achieved victory, "Nikol  Pashinyan, acting Prime Minister, said at a press conference today.

He also touched on other accusations against himself and his  political team: "Now they began to speculate on the issue of sexual  minorities, it is asked, were these people born after the revolution,  did they not exist under the previous authorities? Those who accuse  us of complicity with the LGBT community, let they will answer one  question - what should we do with an RA citizen who declared his  unconventional sexual orientation? We have to expel him, kill him,  and quarter him? Let him answer this question, "he said, recalling  that during the reign of RPA play up a list of those members of the  government who had sexual orientation. "For some reason, these  people, who today speak so loudly about this problem, then were  silent and did not finance various protest actions, as they are doing  now. If these people want the truth, then we will open it to the end,  and they will find themselves in a very awkward position, "said  Pashinyan.

Referring to other charges, regarding the fact that, allegedly, the  new government encourages anti-rumble protest actions, Pashinyan said  that if this were the case, these actions would continue to this day.  "We did everything to stop and prevent them. But, let's be honest,  why did these actions break out? This is a manifestation of public  sentiment towards the clergy, which is largely dictated by their  actions," the acting president noted. premiere.

As for why the government rejected the bill on granting state  protection to the Catholicos of all Armenians, Pashinyan noted that  the RPA had made appropriate amendments to the law on high-ranking  officials. "The Catholicos is not an official. And besides, I don't  think that it's very honorable to endow with the state guard of the  Catholicos of the country, 90% of whose population are followers of  the Armenian Apostolic Church," he said.
