“I have never said anything about any corridors, but I have said and will speak personally about Pashinyan — that he is a geek and a traitor to the Armenian people…” she wrote in her Telegram channel.
According to her, Pashinyan "sold and betrayed all Armenian interests", and also hates Russia and deceives Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Simonyan also called Pashinyan "a tsarush bedding without honor and conscience."
In addition, she stated that under the Pashinyan government she would not have flown to Armenia, but she is embarrassed that she was denied entry to the republic with the wording "for disrespect."
“What disrespect, effendi?
You have to earn disrespect.
And you, effendi, are in the zone of disgust,” she wrote.
According to RIA Novosti, during a press conference on March 14, Pashinyan acknowledged the long-hidden fact that Yerevan had a ban on entry into the country for Simonyan and the founder of the News Media holding, Aram Gabrelyanov, stating that “respect must be shown, including in relation to those elected by the people authorities."
In October 2022, Simonyan announced that she and Konstantin Zatulin, First Deputy of the State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs, were banned from entering Armenia.
