Armenian PM Urges Facebook Users to Write Only in Armenian Letters

Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, in a post on his Facebook page, urged all those posting comments in Armenian to refrain from using Latin letters and do so using only the Armenian alphabet.

“I realize that many of our compatriots, especially those abroad, cannot write in the Armenian alphabet because they don’t have Unicode. However, I urge everyone to write only in Armenian letters whenever possible,” he wrote.

Note, Tigran Sargsyan’s statement has already attracted 195 likes and 18 comments, only one of which is written in Latin letters and, in fact, criticizes the PM’s proposal.
