“The authorities do not tolerate even their own members when they speak about the failures of the ruling regime.”

The tragicomedy witnessed yesterday at the NA Defense and Security Committee revealed multiple layers of concern – from acute internal confrontation to deep-rooted problems within the army, wrote NA deputy Tigran Abrahamyan.

“The authorities do not tolerate even their own members when they address the failures of the ruling regime, negative trends across various sectors, and the escalating situation.

The only response from the Ministry of Defense was to signal that the Civil Contract deputy had touched upon confidential information, making it clear that raising the army’s deep-seated problems could lead to legal consequences,” he wrote.
