Deputy Chief of Staff to the Armenian Prime Minister, Taron Chakhoyan, has issued a sharp response to opposition plans to hold a rally in Yerevan.
Chakhoyan wrote on Facebook, addressing the supporters of detained businessman Samvel Karapetyan, known as “Tashir Samo”.
“I wish good luck to the formalists of Tashir Samo, who threaten to take to the streets — the streets are open for them,” he said.
“Even from the example of their boss, they have failed to understand that one cannot speak to the state in the language of blackmail. If you want to rally, go ahead — dance the khorovod too, if you wish.”
Chakhoyan was responding to opposition activists who have reportedly warned that unless Karapetyan is released, they will stage mass demonstrations in the capital.
