Free Speech In Armenia: A Victim Of Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict? Opposition Says Yes

Armenian opposition members questioned for allegedly organizing protests in defiance of Armenia’s military curfew claim that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian’s government has been using the ban to stamp out criticism of its controversial Nagorno-Karabakh truce with Azerbaijan and Russia. On December 2, the government lifted the ban, but that has not stopped the criticism. Pashinian, brought to power by street protests in 2018, counters that he only opposes attempts to “sow chaos.”
