Opposition activist Avetik Chalabyan’s brother quits Central Bank

Armenia – July 29 2022

Opposition activist and public figure Avetik Chalabyan’s brother, Ara Chalabyan, has stepped down from his position as head of the Armenian Central Bank’s Corporate Services and Development Directorate.

He announced his resignation on Facebook on Thursday without giving any reasons for it.

“Starting today I am no longer working at the Central Bank of Armenia, where I have been for quite a time, received and gave back a lot. I celebrate the freedom in my life and will conquer the world as one of my good colleagues likes to say,” he wrote.

Avetik Chalabyan was released from custody late on Wednesday more than two months after being arrested on charges rejected by him as politically motivated.

“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
