Political prisoner, RPA vice-chairman Armen Ashotyan sent a note from the detention center through lawyers, which we present below.
Being illegally imprisoned again and joining the ranks of dozens of political prisoners in Armenia, I was in a virtual information blockade. However, Edmon Marukyan’s next insidious and dirty discharge about Serzh Sargsyan and me penetrated even from the dark and thick walls of the prison.
During the entire election campaign, he tried to make himself important by regularly throwing stones in our direction, but we did not see the need to make a serious opponent out of him and totally ignored him.
Now that the election is over (with a particularly embarrassing result for Edmond), Edmond’s villainy has reached a new record high. Answer him from prison.
Convey to him that this expired and discarded vintick, who worked in the Nicolaitan regime, has no political or moral right to moral discourse or analysis.
Convey to him that I, Armen Ashotyans, do not need to be mentioned by him or, even more, to be “worried about”. That I remember very well his behavior as Nikol’s ambassador in Vienna in December 2022, both in the presence of the Azerbaijani delegates and during his conversation with me.
Tell him that he wishes he had a friend like Serzh Sargsyan or as loyal as I am.
Convey to him that it is not decent and unethical to refer to a sitting person in such a way and drag him into a dirty topic (if, of course, he still remembers the meaning of the word).
If he doesn’t have the guts or conscience to talk about me being a political prisoner, let him shut up.
After all, there is no such washing machine that would “renew” and “clean” Nicole’s repeatedly used rag, and there is no wardrobe where that second hand has a place.
The rest after my freedom.
P.S. Dear compatriot, after the regular return to information streams from quarantine, I will again share my thoughts and opinions with you, as during the previous imprisonment. Thank you for your support to me and my family.
Freedom to all political prisoners.
ARMEN ASHOTIAN
Vice President of RPA
