168: Court rejects motion to arrest former deputy prime minister

A court of general jurisdiction of Yerevan has denied the motion by investigators requesting to arrest Armen Gevorgyan, a former Secretary of Security Council and a former Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia.

“The court rejected the arrest motion,” Gevorgyan told reporters outside a courtroom.

Noting that a fair decision has been made, he nevertheless said that he ‘will continue proving his innocence’.

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
