I learned about the arbitrariness against one of the honorable
activists of the Artsakh movement James Ghahramanyan. I knew him
as one of the pioneers of the movement, a true patriot and citizen,
and I protest against this illegality.

The society must condemn such actions because the basic human
rights were violated, the right to work and the right to vote. James
Ghahramanyan’s case is clear political persecution.

The government and the head of state must help create a normal
pre-election atmosphere in the country. However, this and a number
of other cases are evidence that the government does not perform its
function. Or does not perform it duly.

At the same time, I do not rule out that the head of the company wanted
to do a favor to the government. Officials are usually driven to make
such moves by group interests, desire to hold on to their posts, the
suspicious past, which makes people vulnerable and dependent. People
with such character and past do not care for other people’s merits
and contribution.

The society should condemn such cases, otherwise it is "contagious".
