Oppositionist: Nikol Pashinyan fulfills instructions of geopolitical  centers

ArmInfo. As of today, of the 60 people detained during the anti-government protests on September  19-20, 37 citizens are in criminal correctional institutions in Armenia. Secretary of the opposition <Armenia> faction of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Artsvik Minasyan told reporters on October 18.

According to him, when examining the criminal cases against them, it  becomes obvious that there is no basis for arrest. the investigation  and the courts make decisions based solely on the testimony of the  police officers, whose actions have been recognized as  disproportionate by international institutions. At the same time,  there is practically no recorded evidence of their involvement in the  commission of the offense. "The authorities want to show at any cost  that there is no reception against them, and they are ready to cross  all the boundaries of what is permitted using any method so that  Nikol's (RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan- ed. note) seat is not in  danger," the oppositionist noted.

He added that yesterday's speech by the prime minister in the  European Parliament only speaks of the preservation of his seat. "He  does not want to understand that such behavior cannot so infringe on  the dignity of the people. With his attitude and his statements, he  only disgraces our statehood and our people," Minasyan noted, adding  that all appeals from the opposition forces to international  institutions remained unanswered. "These institutions essentially  want Pashinyan to fulfill all the instructions of the geopolitical  centers that are under the influence of the Turkish-Azerbaijani  tandem," Minasyan said.
