Panorama
Armenia –

The Yerevan Court of General Jurisdiction has allowed Armen Gevorgyan, an MP from the opposition Hayastan bloc, to travel to Strasbourg to attend the summer plenary session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).

Presiding judge Anna Danibekyan on Tuesday granted a motion filed by Gevorgyan’s lawyer Lusine Sahakyan to allow her client to leave for the session scheduled for June 19-25.

The prosecutors did not object to the request, leaving the decision to the discretion of the court.

Gevorgyan is standing trial for alleged corruption and money laundering.


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
