Karapetyan on  persecution of Tsarukyan: Unlawful actions of   Armenian authorities still continuing

ArmInfo. The unlawful actions of the Armenian authorities are continue, as stated by Samvel Karapetyan, leader of the Strong Armenia party, to journalists on  July 7.  He was  commenting on the criminal prosecution of businessman Gagik Tsarukyan, leader of the Prosperous Armenia party.

According to Samvel Karapetyan, this criminal prosecution could  further deteriorate the climate for attracting investments. As the  leader of "Strong Armenia" noted, there have been no significant  investments in Armenia in recent years. "The authorities do not see  the danger in this, although I personally see it.  Tsarukyan is one  of the main investors," he head of the Tashir Group of Companies  noted. 

Addressing the internal political situation in the country and the  actions of the opposition, Karapetyan emphasized that the fight  against lawlessness will continue, including through street protests,  which will inevitably take place and when they do, it will be once  and for all. The parliamentary opposition has already issued a  statement on this matter, and responses from other opposition  political forces are expected and are already arriving. When the  opportune moment arises, the appropriate actions will commence. "We  will move forward step by step, and we will certainly achieve our set  goal," Samvel Karapetyan said, adding that Prime Minister Nikol  Pashinyan will not be able to suppress anything, as he did not even  receive the percentage of votes that would have ensured his  legitimacy. 

Nevertheless, the opposition will seek a change of government through  legal methods in order to prevent any possible turmoilKarapetyan  noted that work in the National Assembly will also be aimed at  removing the current government. At the same time, given the  difficulties faced by farmers and citizens of the country, the party  will seek mechanisms to assist them to the best of its ability.
