Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this in the National Assembly while addressing the opposition.
Responding to the opposition's criticism that the government is not legitimate, Pashinyan first reminded that he called on the people to take to the streets and make a revolution if they disagree with the current government or if they believe that the government is not legitimate.
«These people have a legitimacy problem; they do not have the status of masters in this hall; they understand that they are just a caretaker sent for some mission. Events are developing rapidly; they do not receive instructions on what to do, they are disoriented, coming and going.
But this is not their problem; it is our problem, it is a problem for the Republic of Armenia. I think this is the choice: either drop the mandates and engage in revolution, or if you have come, sit down and work. I do not think that getting offended over every word and leaving is a sign of strength,» he said, referring to the departure of opposition representatives from the National Assembly hall due to disagreements on certain issues.
