Shant Harutyunyan: Not Pashinian, but KGB rules the country

Arminfo, Armenia
Sept 8 2018

ArmInfo. Armenia is ruled  not by Pashinyan, but by the Russian KGB, Pashinyan only pretends to  rule. This was during a press conference from the "Vardashen"  penitentiary, oppositionist Shant Harutyunyan, who was arrested for 6  years on charges of violent resistance to a representative of power,  said.

Referring to Pashinyan's statement that he has no right to interfere  in the affairs of the judiciary, as representatives of the past  authorities did, and demand for the release of Harutyunyan, he said:  "You might think that the case on the events of March 1, 2008 resumed  by itself, without which -or interference. The judges, who had  previously defended Kocharyan and the former authorities, suddenly  became honest and told Pashinyan that they had dreamed of sueing the  second president all their lives, they simply did not have such an  opportunity. This is ridiculous".

It should be noted that Pashinyan denied Harutyunyan's demand for  acquittal and release, arguing that he is not authorized to interfere  in the affairs of the judiciary. He suggested that Harutyunyan should  beg for change in the measure of his restraint, which the latter  replied with a refusal.
