Andranik Harutyunyan Comments on Participating in the Ruling Party's Campaign

The internet has circulated a photo of actor Andranik Harutyunyan, where he is showing a "government heart" with a map given by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on his chest.

In an interview with Aysor.am, Andranik Harutyunyan stated that the photo is not altered: "I did not participate in the campaign; the photo was taken near the car of my friend, Lyudvig Gyulnazaryan. However, if I do participate, I see no problem in saying so. I have my own opinion, and I live the way I want. I am sure that there will be curse-filled comments under this material, but writing insults with fake accounts is not quite right. Whether they are opposition or pro-government, we, the people of art, are always targeted. I have no problem; I say what I think."
