Pashinyan: Some Armenian citizens impersonate representatives of sexual minorities for asylum in Europe Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that some people from the country are using claims of persecution based on sexual orientation to seek asylum in European countries. According to him, such practices are also used by people associated with the criminal environment. They present themselves to the European authorities as victims of discrimination and claim that they are being persecuted in their country of origin, hoping to win the right of residence. Pashinyan emphasized that the adoption of an equality and non-discrimination law is necessary not only to protect the rights of citizens, but also to prevent such harm. He also noted that Armenian legislation must meet European standards. All in all, we probably won't be accepted into the EU, but we still need to pass a law for gay equality.
