18-year-old Davit Minasyan, who was arrested on March 29 after the provocation with the participation of Nikol Pashinyan in Saint Anna Church in Yerevan, was detained for 2 months today. Judge Mnatsakan Martirosyan decided to satisfy the investigator’s request to detain the 18-year-old student for 2 months. The lawyers do not know on what basis the judge made such a decision, because they have not yet received the court’s decision. 18-year-old Davit, who studies in the 12th grade, was transferred to “Armavir” prison, but before entering the penitentiary, Davit lost consciousness and was transferred to the hospital.
Founder of “Njar” constitutional movement, human rights activist Nina Karapetyantsi by definition, unfortunately, there has been no justice system in Armenia at all times, but he assures that there has never been such a depraved and immoral situation.
“For more than a year, he has been provoking situations, playing with people’s religious feelings, humiliating, if you want, killing people and not giving an answer. Then he is surprised when he finds himself in an environment where he is not expected, and an 18-year-old boy has an outburst, expresses his attitude, after which a whole system attacks one 18-year-old boy – this is beyond all moral norms. Let them not tell me that there was an incident that should be given a legal assessment.” 168.amNina Karapetyants said in a conversation with
According to our interlocutor, before making a legal assessment of David’s actions, all those who spread such rumors should first of all demand a legal and political assessment from the justice system, against the person who was the God of hatred and anti-Armenian propaganda, and who carried out manipulations and propaganda on a cosmic scale.
“If they have not condemned the actions of this man for several years, then they have absolutely no right to speak about the morality or legality of David’s actions.
Nikol Pashinyan is afraid of 18-year-olds, according to his ideas, it is these 18-year-olds and a little older people who will come and reject him.
Honestly, I expect a response from young people today, not in the form of violence, but in the form of participating in the elections and rejecting Nikol. This will be the best answer to give him. Nikol Pashinyan will constantly provoke situations, and I must ask, very much, the young people not to give in to provocations, this is very important. They should have a clear idea that Nikol Pashinyan will go after all young people in different ways, he will sacrifice some of them, and then he will declare them as “senseless victims”, Nina Karapetyants stressed.
According to him, Nikol Pashinyan will fill the prisons with some of the young people and declare that they are guilty.
“Nikol Pashinyan, with his security guards, will subject you to violence and say, ‘You are to blame’. There should be only one answer to this: Nikol Pashinyan should be rejected. The hearts that he sends are not addressed to you dear young people, but to those who should have appreciated his work, directed against you.
This is one of the shameful pages of our justice system, Nikol Pashinyan sees a direct threat from the youth, I hope that the youth will express their attitude very concretely and objectively,” emphasized Nina Karapetyants.
Let’s remind that on March 29, when there was a service in Saint Anna Church, Nikol Pashinyan decided to enter the church with his teammates and security guards, and his security guards tried to open the way by pushing the gathered people. At that time, David and his brother Michael were participating in the liturgy in the church and were urged not to push each other. At that time, a stampede started, one of Nikol Pashinyan’s security guards punched David. After the incident, 2 brothers were arrested, at the moment Mikael is free as a suspect, he was released in exchange for a bail of 5 million drams and a signature not to be absent.
