 10:36, 7 November 2023

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 7, ARMENPRESS. Former Member of Parliament Aragats Akhoyan has been arrested on suspicion of incitement to violence, the Investigative Committee has said.

Authorities said on Tuesday that the former MP made a call to violence through his Facebook page.

A court has approved a one-month pre-trial detention for Akhoyan on charges of incitement to violence.

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
