Reporters barred from meeting with Pashinyan in parliament

Journalists were not allowed to attend a meeting with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in the Armenian National Assembly on Monday.

Security officers refused to give any reason for the ban.

"Please, don't ask me questions, contact the administration if you have any questions,” one of them told reporters.

Pashinyan was set to address a joint meeting of the parliament's standing committees on the 2024 draft state budget.
