Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan faced an unusual request from a citizen during a meeting in Ashtarak, Aragatsotn Province, as part of his regional tour on Saturday.

A local woman told him she had three sons, the eldest aged 30, and asked whether the government had any programs to help young people get married. Pashinyan replied that no such initiative existed.

The woman then pointed out that Pashinyan himself has three daughters and asked if he might consider one of them for her son.

Pashinyan laughed off, saying: “I won’t, because they are mature people. It’s for them to make their own decisions.”
