ArmInfo. The Investigative Committee received instructions to "fabricate" a case against Mother Armenia party board member Aregnaz Manukyan and has carried out the order. This was stated in a statement by Mother Armenia party leader Andranik Tevanyan, who is incarcerated at the Yerevan-Kentron Penitentiary, published on the party's Facebook page.
According to him, all of this is happening as part of a fabricated criminal case against him, commissioned by the "ruling regime." "Now they've resorted to outright intimidation and illegal actions that cross all red lines," the party leader emphasized, noting that Gagik Tsarukyan, leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party, was arrested using the same methods.
Tevanyan also reported that a search was conducted several days ago at the apartment of Yervand Bozoyan, another member of the Mother Armenia party board.
"If we don't jointly stop this tyranny and repression, tomorrow there won't be a single opposition figure left free in Armenia's political arena.
Nikol Pashinyan, who serves the Turkish-Azerbaijani agenda, has pledged to make concessions at Armenia's expense to maintain his power.
That's why he's clearing the political field and arresting his opponents.
Incidentally, during his briefing, he already announced the upcoming concessions, placing the primary responsibility for them on the supposed majority of Armenian citizens who voted for him. The only way to avoid the fate of Artsakh is universal resistance.
Everything that's happening is not an attack against a single party or individuals. It's an attack against Armenian statehood, our values, and all of us," Tevanyan wrote.
As a reminder, on May 21, the Investigative Committee of Armenia announced the opening of a criminal case against Andranik Tevanyan for "treason and espionage." Tevanyan is accused of transferring information containing state secrets to a foreign state for $622,000.
On the night of May 24, Tevanyan was remanded in custody for two months by court order. Moreover, according to Tevanyan's lawyer, Aram Orbelyan, there were no legal grounds for his client's detention.
The opposition figure's arrest occurred on the direct orders of current Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. Tevanyan himself called the investigation's allegations absurd, noting that he resigned from his parliamentary mandate in 2023 and, therefore, the Investigative Committee's allegations are baseless.
