Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has stated that it is important to stop talking about the former authorities of Armenia, APA reports, citing Armenpress.

Pashinyan expressed this view while answering a question from Narek Babayan, an MP from the Civil Contract faction, during the government Q&A session in parliament.

“In fact, I believe we should stop talking about former governments, because there is nothing left to talk about. What have we not said yet? The package we published regarding the Karabakh issue shows that there is absolutely nothing left to discuss,” he said.

According to Pashinyan, however, the government is constantly subjected to provocations.

“We come here and speak for hours: Robert Kocharyan, Serzh Sargsyan… If there had been elections in 2021, the parliamentary opposition would have run on the agenda of changing the government and, to some extent, could still be considered a political rival. I think they are no longer rivals — they stopped being rivals long ago,” Pashinyan added.
