Emil Lazarian News

The investigative body submitted a motion to extend the prison term of political prisoner Armen Ashotyan by two months. Lawyer Ruben Melikyan wrote about this.


“The petition will be examined in the Anti-Corruption Court tomorrow, July 2, at 18:30.


Let me remind you that Ashotyan was taken into custody on June 5, and the court imposed a one-month prison sentence on him.


Taking into account the 777-day detention in the previous case, Armen Ashotyan’s imprisonment under the current regime lasts more than 800 days in total,” he wrote.

“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
