Acting Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan threatened criminal cases to employees of Gazprom Armenia in the event that the information is confirmed that management makes them go to rallies. It is reported by RIA Novosti.
According to him, many signals are received that the company’s management leads or force to go to rallies, or forces someone to choose someone (on the parliamentary elections on June 20).
“If there are such facts, we will deal with them. I hope that these facts will not be confirmed, because if they are confirmed, it will mean something else. It will have very difficult consequences,” said Prime Minister during Meetings with their voters.
Pashinyan stressed that any employee who “will be engaged in such activities, until July 15, at least, will be dismissed.” He also mentioned his criminal responsibility. “I did not understand, Gazprom Armenia can work against the government and the people of Armenia? In order not to think about it, you will be judged by groups, packs,” he noted.
After that, the company’s press service said that they were an apolitical organization, so “in no way involved in the election processes,” said Sputnik agency.
