“President said- we’ll punch you in the face”: Manvel Grigoryan (video)
On January 26 at the session dedicated to the 23rd anniversary of Armenian army, YKM Chairman, NA HHK party deputy Manvel Grigoryan assessed Serzh Sargsyan’s speech adequate. “He didn’t speak strictly, he just said “Behave yourself”, if not we will punch you in the face, that isn’t strict, taking actions would be strict,”- he said by adding that ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Genocide Turkey prods Azerbaijan and they want to divert the attention of the international community ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Genocide. He thinks that large-scale war is both possible and impossible. Turning to Gyumri tragedy Manvel Grigoryan highlighted that it was an inhuman act and independent of the nationality he must get the punishment he deserves, “If we stress the nationality, it means that it has been politics. I have no doubt that the Russians will be stricter as they have no moral right not to be strict.” He is also against the withdrawal of Russian military base from Gyumri, as he thinks that Russian border guards keep the border with Turkey. “The day when Turkey learns that our army is not strong, it will start a war, as long as there is no war it means that our army is powerful and capable,”- answered Manvel Grigoryan the question of “A1+” journalist.
