Peace is not a “power switch” to turn at will – PM Pashinyan

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has addressed a statement by “Strong Armenia” party leader Samvel Karapetyan, who claimed that they could guarantee peace.

Pashinyan stressed that peace cannot be ensured through simple statements, noting that it is not  a “power switch” that can be turned as one wishes.

“I am browsing the news feed and see that the oligarch from Kaluga (ed. Samvel Karapetyan) guarantees peace. When they repeatedly spoke about being ‘guarantors of peace,’ they meant themselves. However, they could not even guarantee electricity supply, how are they going to guarantee peace? Peace is not a ‘power switch’ that you can turn as you please,” the Prime Minister said.
