The first hearing of the criminal case against Samvel Karapetyan is underway in the Anti-Corruption Court.

His supporters are in the court yard.

Chairman of the “United Armenians” party, Nairi Sargsyan, speaking about the expectations, mentioned that it is necessary to achieve the final victory by combining forces.

“We have repeatedly stated that we have pursued the short-term priority goal of removing the number one obstacle to Armenia’s development on June 30. Nikol Pashinyan’s justice should be treated the way they treat the country, the Armenian people and the judicial bodies, that is, with fingers crossed.”

He added that justice and the period of Nikol Pashinyan have no relation to each other. “The 3 member parties of the alliance have set a new congress, and, I think, mergers are still possible.”
