Former RA Defense Minister Vigen Sargsyan writes on his Facebook page. “Anyone who has worked with me in any capacity knows that I have never done anything that could be contrary to the goals of my service, let alone the public interest. Regardless of whether I was in a public position, in the private sector, or in public activities, for example, during the time I was a member of the councils of many structures or the head, I always did my best for the development and progress of the structure or field entrusted to me. And have always done so with high efficiency. My work as the chairman of the board of the Institute of Foreign Languages ​​named after Brusov is no exception.

I don’t know what the regime’s pocket investigators have come up with this time. I don’t remember this case of alienation of the university’s property, but I know for sure that it is impossible that we made a decision that was against the interests of the Brusov Institute. I know we would never do such a thing, so I am extremely relaxed about these new as well as previous fictitious allegations.

It is obvious that the hasty publication of today’s investigation is primarily aimed at punishing my good friend, one of the most thoughtful, capable and influential actors of the opposition field of Armenia, the exceptional patriot Armen Ashotyan, for his broadcast yesterday and preventing his participation in the upcoming domestic developments. Instead, filing a case against political opponents is not just a shameful phenomenon, it is a criminal act prohibited by the RA Constitution and legislation.

I call on the Armenian society to take a civil stance and participate in the National Assembly elections on June 7 as one person. They are more than a discretionary choice. They are the last chance to save the country from the nation-destructive scourge, from chronic capitulation.”
