Armenian opposition MPs Artur Vanetsyan, Armenuhi Kyureghyan and Tigran Abrahamyan have filed a motion for the release of Garik Galeyan, the father of fallen soldier Mkhitar Galeyan, Vanetsyan said on social media.

Galeyan was arrested early on Wednesday morning for “breaking into a military unit, gravely insulting and hurting” an army officer. He was later taken to hospital due to deteriorating health.

The lawmakers visited the General Military Department of Armenia’s Investigation Committee to file the petition.

“Honor and glory to the parents of heroes! Eternal memory to our fallen brothers!” Vanetsyan wrote on Facebook.

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
