The charge brought against me was simply ridiculous; I was being physically and psychologically tortured these past couple of days. This is what Vahan Badasyan told reporters after exiting the cell of the National Security Service.
“I was under important post-surgery treatment, and from this perspective, my rights were violated for 15 days. Besides the fact that moral values have been violated, a war veteran is imprisoned, while the main culprits, traitors and enemies are in liberty,” he said, adding that the charge brought against him doesn’t correspond to reality.
On January 28, during a conversation with reporters at Yerablur Military Pantheon, Badasyan said Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan must resign, and if he doesn’t resign, he must be physically eliminated with weapons and that he will start organizing the process. Badasyan was detained hours after making this statement.
