Глава "Союз Арцах": Задержание Самвела Карапетяна - попытка Пашиняна сохранить свою власть

АрмИнфо. Задержание лидера партии "Сильная Армения" Самвела Карапетяна является очередным проявлением авторитарных устремлений премьер-министра Армении Никола Пашиняна, направленных на сохранение собственной власти.  Такое мнение выразил глава общественной организации "Союз Арцах" Артак Бегларян на фоне ареста Самвела Карапетяна сроком на 1 месяц.

Помимо этого, по его словам, таким образом, Пашинян пытается выполнить очередное требование президента Азербайджана Ильхама Алиева по внесению изменений в Конституцию Армении. "Задержание Самвела Карапетяна является очередным проявлением авторитарных устремлений Пашиняна, направленных на выполнение требований Алиева и сохранение собственной власти. Решением является объединение оппозиционных сил и создание эффективной системы борьбы. Все политические заключенные должны быть немедленно освобождены, а планы Алиева - сорваны", - написал Бегларян.

Напомним, что 4 ноября пресс-секретарь партии "Сильная Армения" Агавни Сукиасян сообщила, что с раннего утра следователи СК Армении проводят обыски в домах лидера блока "Сильная Армения" Самвела Карапетяна и руководителя парламентской фракции "Сильная Армения" Нарека Карапетяна. Она отмечала, что обыски проводятся и по другим адресам, связанным с семьей Карапетяна. Позже пресс-секретарь СК Армении Кима Авдалян сообщила, что обыски проводятся одновременно по 65 адресам. После обысков сотрудники СНБ задержали Самвела Карапетяна и вывели через черный ход его дома. В Следственном комитете Армении после этого сообщили, что Самвел Карапетян обвиняется в хищении кредитных средств, привлеченных на нужны ЗАО "Электрические сети Армении" (ЭСА). Вместе с ним задержаны еще 35 человек. 5 ноября решением суда домашний арест Самвелу Карапетяну был заменен на арест сроком на 1 месяц.

Примечательно, что арест последовал после заявления Пашиняна о том, что в случае противодействия парламентской оппозиции принятию новой Конституции правящее большинство начнет формировать общественное давление. Помимо этого, он отмечал, что "власти могут сформулировать для парламентской оппозиции такое предложение по новой Конституции, от которого она не сможет отказаться".
