"Calm down, don't get excited, a pregnant woman has died", "Should we take Gerand, should we go after this or that?" Vardanyan-Pashinyan tense Q&A

A pregnant woman died at the hands of your convoy, no one was held morally or politically responsible. Speaking in the National Assembly about the case of Sona Mnatsakanyan's run-over, Kristine Vardanyan, a deputy from the "Armenia" faction, stated this, addressing Pashinyan.

In response, Pashinyan noted: "On the one hand, you say the judicial system should be independent... Do you or the injured party have any grounds for me to have interfered in the case? I say it is excluded, there cannot be such a justification in nature," the Prime Minister stated, adding that "if we were the ones to intervene in the court, we would do it in our own cases."

The Prime Minister spoke about maintaining the principle of judicial independence, saying that the MP's question on this topic "is not directed at him."

Let us recall that on April 26, 2022, pregnant Sona Mnatsakanyan was run over by Pashinyan's motorcade. The injured party claims that the court is delaying the examination of this case so that the statute of limitations will pass.
