The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs of the Republic of Armenia has recently issued a statement in which it mentioned the name of the “Adekvad” movement.

The “Adekvad” movement considers this statement to be a blasphemous and irresponsible practice aimed at hurting our reputation and discrediting our activities. In fact, this tax-paying institution, instead of doing its job, is resorting to manipulation of information, as it has not taken any steps to verify the authenticity of the information published. Instead, the ministry preferred to add itself to Nikol Pashinyan’s list of personal slanderers. If this ministry utilizes this same working style in performing its core responsibilities, by spreading such misinformation from its official platform, one can conclude the catastrophic state of the social security sector in Armenia.

We look at this episode within the same context as all the previous slanderous episodes that tried to present us as terrorists in uniform, as a gang, as a unit threatening people on the street, and so on. As in all of these slanderous episodes, the government will fail yet again.

The “Adekvad” movement declares that no one from the movement has visited Gyumri, that the citizen is not a member of the movement and does not act on our behalf.

The “Adekvad” movement demands that the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs of the Republic of Armenia issue a public denial within 24 hours and apologize to the “Adekvad” movement for mentioning our name in such a slanderous manner.

Don’t force us to use the same tools against you, because even in that case we will be much more effective than you.
