"The opponents were upset that I was coming against them." Mirzoyan (VIDEO)

"In the yard where I grew up, people who did not express themselves in front of you but laughed behind you were given a precise assessment. I will refrain from making that assessment because I do not consider it appropriate for the parliament." Said Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan in response to the question of NA Speaker Alen Simonyan. The Speaker of the National Assembly asked the minister to comment on the words of one of the opposition MPs after yesterday's closed session, saying that Ararat Mirzoyan was scared at the closed meeting.

"But I remember another episode, and in a different way. I remember that when I spoke and answered the opposition's questions, they were upset that I was coming down on them and speaking in an accusing tone. But I don't remember them saying that you are scared, Mr. Mirzoyan," he said.
