Court agrees to hold public hearing in Avetik Chalabyan’s case

Armenia – July 9 2022

A court in Yerevan has decided to hold a public hearing in political activist Avetik Chalabyan’s case, his lawyer Varazdat Harutyunyan said.

“The court, presided over by judge Arusyak Aleksanyan, has granted a defense motion to make the hearing on the extension of Avetik Chalabyan’s arrest open to the public,” he wrote on Facebook on Saturday.

Chalabyan was arrested on May 12 for allegedly trying to pay students of the Armenian National Agrarian University to participate in anti-government protests in Yerevan. He has denied the charges as politically motivated.

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
