” As a citizen of the Republic of Armenia, I consider unacceptable the use of violence by an official against any citizen; we are obliged to move on the path of having a society without violence.
As a high-ranking official, a person representing the Republic of Armenia in the international arena, moreover, I am obliged to serve the public as an example through my own experience. Thus, I express my intolerance for violence, both psychological and physical. I hope that what happened will serve as a lesson for our society and we will love each other a little more and respect everyone’s right to privacy and the right to inviolability of family life.
