11:55 | April 4,2015 | Politics

The family of retired army colonel Volodya Avetisyan, who was
sentenced to 6,6 years in prison, won’t appear on the street.

Fundraising, which had been organized to support the Avetisyan family,
gave the desired outcome- 2000 US dollars was collected. Member of “In
support of Volodya Avetisyan” initiative group Gagik Sarukhanyan
informed “A1+” about it.

According to the verdict, Volodya Avetisyan must have paid 2000 US
dollars to the state budget.

The fundraising continues. Money is needed to appeal the verdict at
the European Court of Human Rights.

Gagik Sarukhanyan says that the money is needed for defense costs and
translations.

A few days ago Gagik Sarukhanyan spoke to his friend and the latter
says that he is freer in the custody than the people who are free.

“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
