Lawmaker Gevorg Petrosyan from Prosperous Armenia faction cannot clearly say whether the judge of Yerevan general jurisdiction court Davit Grigoryan is being politically persecuted by the law enforcers or not, he just knows that Davit Grigoryan is a “modest person”.

“I know Davit Grigoryan personally, he is very modest person, literate lawyer, state serviceman with clean past as he previously worked in prosecution system. But I am not aware of the circumstances of the case, I do not know what happened, that is why I cannot give assessments,” Petrosyan said.

He though stressed that he would like to learn that developments over Grigoryan is a revenge and not an attempt to establish lawfulness.

“It is strange for me that the judges making decisions which authorities do not like are being targeted. This is my personal opinion. May be there are some grounds for instituting criminal case against Davit Grigoryan, I hope we will not get convinced that it is a political persecution,” Petrosyan stated.

“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
