Touching upon the criticism of the government, he noted that there are objective and subjective points: "There are people who, after settling in the Government, began to solve questions of their friends and relatives, but they were dismissed by my decree, now they are not on the list, and they refer to the fact that there is no democracy in the country ", the Prime Minister concluded, stressing that he would be merciless to any miscalculations of his team, especially if it comes to the risks of corruption.

But who are they to mock candidates of science, their young years are very much in their field, "said Pashinyan, citing as an example the anti-campaign against Health Minister Arsen Torosyan.
"You know why this campaign was launched, because he dared to attack the" holy "- the father-in-law of the third president of Serzh Sargsyan, Mikayel Minasyan. Meanwhile, what was happening in the medical center headed by Ara Minasyan was simply unacceptable, therefore Arsen Torosyan Mikael Minasyan became a target for media magnate. And this happened because we did not take the media out of the former authorities after we came to power, we did not redistribute property, and this is a response to our tolerance, but we don't intend to do so in the future. " , - summarized Pashinyan.
