Anna Hakobyan gave birth to her eldest daughter while still in high school. Two years later, she had a son. When their son was four, then-opposition figure Nikol Pashinyan survived an attack. Fearing for his life after the assassination attempt, he fled the country, leaving behind pregnant Anna with two small children. Their second daughter was born while Pashinyan was effectively in hiding.

Despite the difficult circumstances, Anna continued to stand by him. In 2015, the couple had another daughter. Initially working as a political journalist, Hakobyan frequently took on the role of editor-in-chief of the opposition newspaper during times when Pashinyan was either in hiding or imprisoned, temporarily stepping aside when he returned.

One of the flagship humanitarian initiatives promoted by Prime Minister Pashinyan’s spouse, Anna Hakobyan, is the campaign “Education is Fashionable”, aimed at supporting young journalists and promoting literacy and etiquette. However, Hakobyan appears to disregard these very principles when responding to criticism - often lashing out at those who question her or her husband with language that contradicts the values she publicly claims to uphold.

Recently, on her social media platforms, Anna Hakobyan launched a harsh attack against editor Boris Murazi, a representative of the Yazidi minority, who had publicly expressed support for the Catholicos of All Armenians, His Holiness Karekin II, the head of the Armenian Apostolic Church. In her accusations, Hakobyan claimed that Murazi had provided sexual services to former President Serzh Sargsyan and several high-ranking clerics. She further stated that she had “repeatedly heard” such allegations over the years and speculated that “video recordings might be stored in drawers at certain institutions.”

Referring to Hakobyan’s social media post, journalist Ruben Jambazyan emphasized that this was not the outburst of an anonymous internet troll, but a public statement made by a prominent public figure - someone with close ties to the country's leadership and many years of experience in journalism.

“Obscene language might provide a sense of release in private conversations, but it is completely unacceptable in official discourse - especially on social media,” Jambazyan remarked.

Such statements are nothing new for Anna Hakobyan. In February of this year, she published an insulting post targeting Armenian diplomats, calling them “insecure failures who have no idea how to do their job.” The post quickly sparked a scandal, prompting her to delete it shortly afterward. When asked to comment on the incident, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs declined, citing the absence of the original post as the reason for withholding a response.
