Quartet Media co-founder, political analyst Karen Bekaryan’s colleagues and supporters have gathered near the building of the National Security Service (NSS) of Armenia to support him.

Earlier, masked officers of the NSS had apprehended him in his house.

“It’s clear that we’re dealing with political persecution. The NSS is trying to neutralize the people who were implementing real propaganda during the war and whose objective was to counter the Azerbaijanis. I personally met Karen Bekaryan during the war in Artsakh. He was working 24 hours a day to provide the Armenian public with information. By being here, we supporters are expressing our discord and shaming the NSS for doing this,” co-founder of Legal Way NGO Ruben Melikyan told reporters.

Earlier, masked officers of the NSS apprehended co-founder of Quartet Media, political analyst Karen Bekaryan in his house and told his attorney that they were conducting a search in the house within the scope of a criminal case launched by the NSS and concerning the publication of information through fake users’ pages during the war.
