I would like to emphasise the will of the government - we will not allow the clerical-feudal elite of Nagorno-Karabakh to try to use the people of Nagorno-Karabakh for their clan purposes. We are very patient, tolerant, we do not hide our love, but I repeat - no one should misunderstand this and perceive it as a weakness of the government, Pashinyan said at a government meeting today./pp
