On May 9, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan met with journalists in Stepanakert.

In response to the journalist’s question, whether the statement of “Yelk” MP Ararat Mirzoyan that Zhirayr Sefilyan is a political prisoner, is a unified position, Pashinyan said, “We have to do everything in order for the political prisoners to be released. I want to emphasize that these issues must be settled by law.”
