Pashinyan loses his metaphorical blue: French meddling
overruled
whilst referring to the 6 October quadripartite

and, with self-assuredly imperturbable aplomb, concluded that“I
just would end my comments here”. Within this razor-sharp brief
impromptu quip was ingrained an inherent death warrant regarding
French mendacity.
