Those who have found it convenient to keep silent—with the formula, “stay out of trouble,” let me say: by your silence you don’t distance, but on the contrary, you bring [trouble] closer. Spartak Seyranyan, a member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Dashnaktsutyun Party of Armenia, on Thursday noted this in a Facebook post, and referring to summoning the family members of the President of the Constitutional Court, Hrayr Tovmasyan, to the National Security Service.

“Putting pressure on Hrayr Tovmasyan through family members is low,” the post reads. “I have nothing to say to those who justify it; in their case everything is clear. But those who have found it convenient to keep silent—with the formula, ‘stay out of trouble,’ let me say: by your silence you don’t distance, but on the contrary, you bring [trouble] closer.”
