      I won’t say that anti Artsakhci sentiment doesn’t exist in Armenia, but this article is spreading disinformation about what Gagik Melkonyan actually said.

      In the interview they were discussing about the actions of the Artsakh leadership for 20 minutes when the interviewer asks a completely out of subject question, which Melkonyan doesn’t even fully listen and talks over the interviewer saying “Artsakh was their country, they gave away Artsakh and came here, now they should act like guests.” He never said “The people of Karabakh should conduct themselves as guests in Armenia.”

      The subject for the interview was about the Artsakh leadership, so he answered the question in that context. The interview was done by Kocharyan’s 24TV and they wrongly labeled the video as “Արցախցիները թող մեր երկրի գործերին չխառնվեն, հյուրի նման իրենց պահեն, ոչ թե ուզենան տանտեր դառնալ” and bunch Russian affiliated medias started spreading this disinformation.

      Here is the full interview and they segment starts around 24:00

      This is part of smear campaign by people who want to undermine our democracy.

      Armenia has hate speech problem, but it is about hate speech against ELECTED government!

      The result of this hate speech are things like the guy who through an apple from 9th floor towards Prime Minister. Luckily he was promptly arrested and hopefully will spend a couple of years behind the bars, like the guy who threw a shoe towards George Bush did.
