With the political decision to arrest Gagik Tsarukyan under the pretext of vote-buying in the 2017 parliamentary election, the Armenian authorities practically managed to deafen the public outcry over the reported secret talks with Azerbaijan in defiance of our national interest, says Artur Ghazinyan, the leader of the opposition One Armenia party.
In a public post on Facebook, the politician slams the criminal case against the Prosperous Armenia party's (PAP) leader as an attempt to "tone down" the noise over the recent "confessions".
He also warns of "extremely dangerous" processes over Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh), highlighting the national security and territorial integrity threats to the two Armenian republics.
"At this critical moment, the travelling circus – with its clowns and journalists provoking intrigues – will go away from Armenia, leaving us with a Fatherland at the threshold of a calamity, which we will protect again, win and rebuild," Ghazinyan says.
