VIDEO. Tonoyan, Mnatsakanyan, and Vanetsyan are Hostages of Pashinyan's Hand: Ashotyan

“This government proves that it has no connection to the numerous external and internal challenges facing Armenia. This government is inadequate to the issues our country is facing. If we try to metaphorically express this, considering also some phrases that became popular yesterday, we can say: our black concerns, your pink butterflies,” said Armenian Revolutionary Federation Deputy Chairman Armen Ashotyan during a press conference, referring to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s statements made during yesterday’s government meeting.

He added that the belief that former President Robert Kocharyan's past government is solely responsible for the current situation is mistaken. “Observing how the government members are trying to gracefully extricate themselves from Nikol Pashinyan's unsuccessful, unserious, and unrestrained statements—specifically regarding Artsakh and the traitors in the state security—we can say that it is not us who have fallen into the fire of Pashinyan's hand, but the conscious members of the government. For me, the top three who have become hostages of Nikol Pashinyan's hand are Davit Tonoyan, Zohrab Mnatsakanyan, and Arthur Vanetsyan. They are forced to constantly smooth over and gloss over Pashinyan's latest unsuccessful statements,” he concluded.
