Davit Manukyan, the former deputy commander of the Security Forces, appealed to RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan from Baku prison, demanding a public statement on the accusations against them.
“My friends and I continue our fair fight in the Baku court, not allowing our rights to be humiliated, as well as the rights of the Armenian people and Armenian statehood. We have been indicted under the article “Planning, preparing and waging or waging an aggressive war” despite all the irrefutable evidence and facts we have brought. Now I am addressing you, Nikol Pashinyan, I urge you to present a public position regarding that accusation,” Manukyan said.
He emphasized that if he does not react, Pashinyan becomes an accomplice to the created situation, and it will mean that he agrees with the false accusations.
Manukyan also wants to know the position of the RA leadership regarding the status of the prisoners in Baku.
Ba emphasized that those in Baku prison do not feel the support and breath of Armenia, but such is life.
