“What some of our colleagues have recorded is not a person’s voluntary participation in a community workday or city event. Can you imagine the Minister of Defense encouraging the participation of the Armed Forces in such activities? If that were the case, would you record only one or two individuals?” he said.

Referring to the decision to strip Karen Shakaryan of the title Hero of Artsakh, Papikyan noted that Shakaryan is a serviceman of whom those who served alongside him can confidently say that he has always served the Republic of Armenia and has been awarded honors for his service to the homeland.
