Disgraced Armenia MP from ARF Dashnaktsutyun Artsvik Minasyan calls for fight against gays as “threat to national security”

[For background: MPs of ARF Dashnaktsutyun party bail out neo-nazi attacker of DIY bar. Dashnak MP Artsvik Minasyan supports arson attack, effectively encouraging terrorism in Armenia]

Despite statements by prominent ARF-affiliated media outlets, such as Asbarez, The Armenian Weekly, as well as ARF Shant Student Association, condemning attack on DIY bar and homophobic hate crimes in Armenia, ARF MP Artsvik Minasyan continues spreading hate, homophobia and intolerance, calling for fight against gays as “threat to national security”.

In a TV interview with homophobic editor of local Aravot daily Aram Abrahamyan, ARF MP Artsvik Minasyan called for fight against ‘spreading of homosexuality': "At the very least, all of us should keep our children and those around us away from it. This is really a matter of national security."

Արծվիկ Մինասյանի դիտարկմամբ` Հայաստանն այսօր ունի հանրայնացող համասեռամոլությանը դիմագրավելու անհրաժեշտություն: «Ամենքս գոնե մեր զավակներին, մեր շրջապատին դրանից հեռու պահելու խնդիր ունենք: Սա իսկապես ազգային անվտանգության խնդիր է»,- նշեց նա: 

It’s time for ARF Dashnaktsutyun - in no uncertain terms - to say: Artsvik, you must go!

In fact, we have yet to hear explanations by another ARF MP Hrayr Karapetyan who reportedly helped in bailing out firebomber too.

Artsvik Minasyan and Hrayr Karapetyan are not just members of the party. They are MPs who represent ARF in the parliament.

P.S. Artsvik Minasyan entered Armenia Homophobia Hall of Shame.
