WHETHER NIKOL PASHINYAN WILL RETURN

Editor-in-Chief of “Haykakan Zhamanak” newspaper Nikol Pashinyan finds prison to be his first asylum in Armenia after return, ANC coordinator Levon Zourabyan told a news conference. Pashinyan’s opinion, according to the speaker, is based upon sober assessment of Armenian authorities’ policy. As to when Pashinyan will come back and what is awaiting him upon his return to Armenia, Zourabyan said he didn’t know anything in that regard. He also refrained from answering journalists’ questions concerning the other 5 ANC leaders searched by police, particularly businessman Khachatur Sukiasyan.
