ArmInfo. 'Narek is the first sign; apparently, new arrests of oppositionists await us'. This forecast was made by political scientist, founder of the Voskanapat analytical center Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan, touching on today's "democratic" detention of opposition public figure, head of the "Civic Consciousness" organization Narek Samsonyan.
This afternoon, footage of opposition activist Narek Samsonyan being detained by law enforcement officers spread across social networks. The Investigative Committee of Armenia described this arrest as "just the arrest of a person suspected of committing hooliganism".
"In our country, as a rule, such scenes are followed by other scenes: funerals of the dead, devastated villages and compatriots left homeless. Nikol began his last fight. He will do everything to win this fight. The targets will be people who are worried about their homeland and who are fighting. Narek Samsonyan is the first sign of this spring. In all likelihood, there will be more arrests in the coming days. And that is why I say: we need to fight for Tavush in Yerevan. This is a political problem that must receive a political solution. Fundamental and final decision," the political scientist wrote on his Facebook page.
