“When they break the head of the Catholicos, the Prosecutor General, the police are very close

As we reported yesterday, the law enforcement officers initiated a criminal prosecution against a citizen selling watermelons in one of the markets under the charge of hooliganism. The reason is that the citizen, the so-called blogger Aram Avetisyan, asks the person whose media he represents, “traitors?” After that, the person posing as a blogger starts cursing the citizen, threatens that he will be “judged”, and the citizen curses him in turn. Hours after the incident, the Investigative Committee told the media that a criminal prosecution was initiated against the citizen selling watermelons.

Human rights defender Zhanna Aleksanyan in other words, the person called the blogger is seen in various videos walking around the city and provoking people, the human rights defender personally saw various videos proving all that.

“To put it mildly, he behaves very impudently, that behavior is intolerable. He provoked the watermelon seller the same way, why did he go there and argue with people? They should have taken him too, because he was cursing the city. We have heard many hooligan expressions from the officials, also from different people, but no cases are initiated against them. As soon as they find a poor and defenseless person, the police become active. In cases where the head of the Catholicos is smashed, etc., the police and the Prosecutor General are very passive.” of 168.am Zhanna Aleksanyan said in a conversation with

The human rights defender condemned the initiation of criminal prosecution against the citizen selling watermelons, stressing that the person called blogger insulted the citizen, and he responded.

“What should that citizen do, why should that blogger go and provoke people?” How could he go around like that, put people off their feet with his insolent speech, and curse the citizen, of course, he shouldn’t have cursed, I have nothing to say, but it’s difficult when they are provoking you standing in front of you.

I think the words “traitor” and “landlord” could have been a target. We saw demonstrations of the opposition, where the word “traitor” was not new, mass people said: “go away, traitor”, or “landlord”, etc. The citizen was also targeted for those words, for calling the great, great-grandfather “landlord” and “traitor”, which every second person in Armenia uses,” Zhanna Aleksanyan added.

According to his definition, the police is not just the police, all law enforcement systems work for Nikol Pashinyan, who says a word when he passes by, so they should arrest and detain, and then initiate a criminal case.
