Ara Zohrabyan slams use of force by police against lawyer

Panorama
Armenia – June 13 2023

Ara Zohrabyan, a former chairman of Armenia’s Chamber of Advocates, has denounced the use of force by police officers against a lawyer.

“This is a very dangerous incident. This is the second time something like this has happened,” he told a news conference in Yerevan on Tuesday.

Zohrabyan recalled that they demanded the dismissal of the officers who beat up two lawyers in a police custody in February this year, stressing the need for tougher measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

“This is a terrible act. It’s too much for us to swallow,” Zohrabyan said.

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
