Armenia – May 7 2022

Lawyer Amram Makinyan says an Armenian woman detained by police during anti-government protests has been unlawfully held in police custody for several hours now.

“The level of human rights protection in Nikol’s “democratic Armenia” is setting new records,” he wrote on Facebook on Saturday.

“A detainee, who is a young woman, continues to be held in police custody after the expiry of the specified period (more than 6 hours now). Long live Nikol’s democracy!” the lawyer sneered.

“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
