ArmInfo. Public and political figure, co-founder of the Arar Foundation Avetik Chalabyan was released from custody on bail of 15 million drams. The decision was made on August 31 at a meeting of the Armenian Court of Appeal chaired by Judge Ruzanna Barseghyan.

Thus, the court granted the petition of the defense, canceling the decision of the court of primary instance.

It should be reminded that Chalabyan is accused of forcing students of the Academy of Agriculture to participate in protest actions of opposition political forces.

“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
