Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan quoted from the New Testament at today's government session: "Judge not, lest you be judged, for with what judgment you judge, you will be judged."

"This is a very important nuance. All the systems that we are introducing are not just about us judging others, but about the fact that by the same judgment we judge others, we will be judged by the same judgment, this is my understanding," he said.

According to Pashinyan, they cannot "take the kindergarten from the wife of a former official and give it to ours..."

"It doesn't sound good to our wife... we can't bear to give it to our wives, children, and so on, because whatever judgment you use, you will be judged by the same judgment," he emphasized.

The Prime Minister clarified that judging does not mean that you have to make a binding verdict; judging also means treating.

"That is, the same attitude will be in our case. I will tell you more: during our government, we have returned property that was alienated through such a system. The principle has been set: there is no such thing as ours or yours, there is legal and illegal property," he noted.

The Prime Minister announced that if their principle were to take everything possible from everywhere, they wouldn't have suffered so much, they wouldn't have initiated so many draft laws, new laws, and new courts.

"We do not want to derail our country from the legal system, because that would be a loss for the state, but on the other hand, we are consistent, we have made a commitment to the people," he noted.
