RA Economy Minister Gevorg Papoyan wrote on his Facebook page:
"What happened today is not strange because we are dealing not with a clergyman but with an ordinary citizen of another country, a revanchist, a businessman, who, through his foreign owners, aims to bring a new war to our country, through which Armenia will turn into a guberniya.
It won't happen. We will not allow clerical rule, backwardness, peripheral rule, and thieves to defeat democracy, independence, and progress. The state is solid."
