Mourad Papazian vows push for regime change in Armenia

French-Armenian community leader and ARF Bureau member Mourad “Franck” Papazian has vowed efforts to help Armenia "get rid of the ruling regime", condemning Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan for “authoritarian” rule.
His comments came after two more ARF activists from the Netherlands, Massis Abrahamian and his daughter Suneh, were barred from entering Armenia on Monday and Sunday, respectively.
Papazian, a co-chairman of the Coordination Council of Armenian Organizations of France (CCAF), was denied entry to Armenia two weeks ago.
“It’s now three of us who have been banned from entering Armenia. With Suneh Abrahamian and Massis Abrahamian, we are three defenders of Armenia, Artsakh and the Armenian cause,” he wrote on Facebook on Monday.
“Nikol Pashinyan is transforming Armenia into an authoritarian state. Democracy is crushed and individual rights are disregarded. Nikol Pashinyan is creating a climate of terror.
“We do not accept it. We will not accept it. We will fight for the liberation of Armenia from this regime. And we will succeed!” Papazian said.
