Armenian law enforcement has charged a woman who threw an umbrella at Nikol Pashinyan a few days ago. Her actions are qualified as an assault against an official.
A villager who threw an umbrella at the Armenian Prime Minister has already been charged, the press secretary of the republic's Investigative Committee informs.
According to Gor Abrahamyan, she is accused of an assault against an official. Presumably, Narine Asatryan committed her act in order to interfere with Pashinyan’s activities, Sputnik Armenia reports.
