RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that he did not urge his son Ashot Pashinyan to withdraw the complaint against the mother of the fallen serviceman.

It should be noted that Gayane Hakobyan, the victim's mother, tried to kidnap Ashot Pashinyan the other day. Criminal proceedings were initiated, and Hakobyan was detained for one month.

Nikol Pashinyan said at the meeting with journalists, "When the first conversation took place on this topic, my son, with his arguments, deprived me of the opportunity to address him with such a request or appeal. I was not in Armenia at the time of the incident, but when I returned, I saw that legal procedures had begun. When I talked with him, he reminded me that the goal and task was to solve the country's issues legally. He asked, "How should I react to that fact now? Should I take my friends or squad members, take retaliatory actions, respond to disrespect, respond to a threat with a threat, and abduct with abduction?"

The Prime Minister referred to the incident that happened last year with the participation of his bodyguards when the motorcade ran over Sona Mnatsakanyan. Pashinyan noted that he was unaware of that criminal case, "I am very sorry about the incident; after the incident, I had a phone conversation with the father of the victim, the woman who died due to the collision. He said that the expectation is that everything will happen according to the legal procedure. I don't know how and under what article the act was qualified. I can say that what happened to my son is qualified under Article 191 of the Criminal Code, kidnapping a person."
