According to Ghazaryan, Pashinyan’s statements effectively brand his own family as “war criminals,” Pastinfo reported. He recalled that after the April War, Pashinyan personally carried out combat tasks in Martakert as part of a volunteer detachment under Artsakh’s Defense Army command. As prime minister, he frequently visited Artsakh, hosted its president in Yerevan, and his son served in the Artsakh Defense Army voluntarily, after submitting a request to be stationed there. “By his own declarations, this means his entire family were war criminals,” Ghazaryan argued. Earlier, Pashinyan accused Armenia’s three former presidents of dragging the country into war and suggested holding a debate in his former prison cell.
