Hraparak: Prosecution To Have Difficulty In Proving Levon Hayrapetya

HRAPARAK: PROSECUTION TO HAVE DIFFICULTY IN PROVING LEVON HAYRAPETYAN GUILT

10:20 * 20.09.14

Russian-Armenian businessman-philantopist Levon Hayrapetyan’s detention
has given way to different interpretations and comments.

Some believe it is Russia’s warning to Armenia against searching
foreign policy alternatives, says the paper, while others find that the
case was in Azerbaijan’s interests given that the businessman intended
to found a military academy on the Karabakh-Azerbaijani border.

Speaking to the paper, Archbishop Yezras Nersisyan, the primate of
the Armenian Diocese in Russia and New Nakicevan, said he doesn’t
see any political motives at all.

Knowing the businessman well, the archbishop said he has no doubt
about his innocence. “Levon is facing charges, but he hasn’t been
convicted. An inquest is under way, so his guilt has yet to be proven
in court. I am sure the prosecution will have difficulty in proving
Levon’s guilt. What troubles us more now is his health condition,”
the paper quotes him as saying.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
