This is how independent Member of the National Assembly Hovik Aghazaryan explained the birth of his book, "The Real Side of the Country," at its presentation held today in Yerevan. After the well-known hearings in parliament late last year, Nikol Pashinyan first sent Aghazaryan an SMS demanding he relinquish his mandate, but he received a refusal, and a phase of criminal prosecution against Aghazaryan began.

First, they fabricated a bribery case, then they brought charges of disclosing a state secret, but when all this did not break Aghazaryan, the contents of Aghazaryan's phone - his so-called intimate life - were spread on the table of Civil Contract members upon Pashinyan's instruction.
