YEREVAN, APRIL 8, ARMENPRESS. A Yerevan court has approved the State Revenue Committee Investigative Department’s motion to place SPAYKA executive Davit Ghazaryan under a customary two-months pre-trial detention period.

Ghazaryan is the CEO of the major agricultural exporting and freight company SPAYKA suspected in tax evasion.

He denies wrongdoing.

Many employees of SPAYKA are demonstrating outside the courthouse against the arrest. Protesters say they want a meeting with Prime Minister Pashinyan himself.

Emil Lazarian: “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
