The Head of opposition “With Honour” faction Artur Vanetsyan has published on his Facebook page communication received from Apple .

The letter says that Vanetsyan is being targeted by state-sponsored attackers who are trying to remotely compromise the iPhone associated with his Apple ID. In Vanetsyan’s words, he has decided to publish the letter for two reason.

“This letter confirms my previous statements that for a long period Armenia’s acting authorities had been unlawfully attempting to eavesdrop on my cell phone conversation, violating my right to private and family life which are evidently connected with my political activity. Apple also shares tips to secure my phone which are worth to share with others. I also call the attention of the Human Rights Defender on this unlawful action against me and possible other citizens of the Republic of Armenia,” Vanetsyan wrote.

“Nikol, don’t be afraid of me but the consequences of the disaster you brought to our country,” Vanetsyan wrote.

Today I received a letter from Apple company, which I decided to publish for at least 2 reasons.

1. This letter confirms my previous statements that the current authorities of Armenia illegally, violating the right to privacy of my personal and family life, carried out wiretapping attempts for a long time, which are obviously related to my political activities.

I repeat, I have actual data that an attack was carried out by the infamous Pegasus program not only on my phones, but also on the phones of my close friends and family members.

2. In this letter, the Apple company gives tips for keeping the phone safe, which, I believe, should be widely distributed. I draw the attention of the human rights defender of the Republic of Armenia Arman Tatoyan in connection with the illegal actions carried out against me and possibly other citizens of the Republic of Armenia.

PS: Nicole, don’t be afraid of me, be afraid of the consequences of the atrocities you have brought upon my homeland and the Armenian people.
