During a court session today, the attorney of Sasna Tsrer member Pavel Manukyan requested the court to grant bail as an alterantive to pre-trial detention.

According to the attorney, Manukyan’s health is deteriorating daily and he needs medical treatment.

Manukyan, and another defendant in the case Armen Bilyan, announced ending the hunger strike, taking into account the passing of their friend and colleague Arayik Khandoyan.

The prosecutor did not object the motion and the court granted a 1 million dram bail for the release of Manukyan.

Emil Lazarian: “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
