Some officials use corrupt ties for false propaganda against Armenia’s PM in Artsakh: Pashinyan

There are obviously concrete forces representing the former corrupt system who are trying to bring into life the resolution they applied previously – sow dispute, conflicts and even hatred between the peoples of Artsakh and Armenia with the “Divide to rule” logic, Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated today.

He said it is being done to hide their corruption crimes, to justify them.

“Though it is obvious for all that our compatriots of Artsakh have very often suffered from the systematic corruption in our country, but some officials of these systems use their corrupt ties for implementing false propaganda against Armenian government and PM personally in Artsakh,” he stressed, adding that after making an analysis he sees a far going goal to provoke war, to hand territories and to leave the responsibility on the Armenian government.

He said it is an activity similar to state betrayal.

Pashinyan stressed that as prime minister of Armenia which is security guarantor of Artsakh, as supreme commander of the armed forces he will undertake the toughest measures to eradicate the conspirational intentions.

“Summing up Artsakh-Armenia topic, I urge our people in Artsakh to say no to all the forces which sow dispute between our peoples. I urge people of Artsakh to support only the forces which support the Armenian people and the legitimate government. The other forces have just one goal – to use Artsakh people in their narrow group aims, for relieving those who committed crimes previously from responsibility,” the PM noted.
