News - Pashinyan: We are not satisfied with quality of democracy in Armenia

We are not satisfied with the quality of democracy that exists in Armenia. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this at the Armenian Forum for Democracy on Monday "Particularly, in my opinion, elections at local government levels are not sufficiently politicized, civilized, and communalized," Pashinyan added. Referring to the freedom of speech and the press in Armenia, the PM said that it is necessary to make sure that this is perceived by the Armenian public as something that is positive. "The record I made back in 2018 remains unwavering. For us, democracy is not a matter of circumstances, but a strategy, and the government will continue on this strategic path. One thing is clear: democracy is rooted in Armenia, and the international community perceives Armenia as a part of global democracy," Pashinyan stated.
