Strong Armenia faction member Ruben Makhitarian said Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's promise to make the opposition "an offer it can't refuse" actually meant repression. According to the parliamentarian, the authorities act exclusively with repressive methods, use administrative resources, and the law enforcement system is completely occupied with protecting the prime minister. "We have the Armenian people behind us, and we will achieve the desired result," Mkhitaryan said, adding that the authorities' actions against the Armenian Church and plans to change the constitution will fail.
