Opposition MP: We are again witnessing unprofessional behavior of  Armenia`s investigative authorities 

ArmInfo. MP from the "I Have Honor" opposition faction Taguhi Tovmasyan visited the detained  leader of the political movement "Kamk" ("Will") Vahagn Chakhalyan in the pre-trial detention center. She reports on her Facebook page.

"We are again witnessing the unprofessional style of work of the  investigative authorities of Armenia.  Yesterday, citizens were  detained who were simply standing near the government building during  the incident. I held a meeting with Vahagn Chakhalyan and his  teammates at the place of detention. The coordinator and leader of  the initiative, Vahagn Chakhalyan, said , that "hanging on foam  plastic will not save you from drowning." The fight continues, and  Nikol Pashinyan will have to leave, and the sooner this happens, the  better. In addition, on May 20 at 12:00 we will hold a rally near the  building of the Service for the Execution of Judicial Acts demanding  an amnesty for all judicial acts," the parliamentarian noted.

Referring to Chakhalyan's statement, she noted that the leader of the  "Tavush for the Motherland" movement, primate of the Tavush diocese  of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan will  not be alone, the whole Armenian nation is on his side, and the  struggle will continue. "He stated that the charge of hooliganism  against him was unfounded. The arrested citizens Minas Novshadyan,  Taron Davtyan (who, by the way, was a volunteer in two wars), Mikael  Hovhannisyan and Sergey Amirkhanyan also assured that their arrest  was illegal, since all the videos show that they did not take any  illegal actions, there was no violence, no profanity.

"That is, the police arrest active citizens, after which the  Investigative Committee puts forward a demand for their detention.  And who should be held responsible for the illegal deprivation of  freedom of people?  These important questions remain unanswered. I  hope that representatives of the group will be released in the near  future, including Vahagn Chakhalyan, if there is no political  directive," Tovmasyan emphasized.  Earlier, on May 16 Chakhalyan and  4 other participants in the protest near the government building were  detained on suspicion of group hooliganism. According to  investigators, they got into an argument and then a fight with an  opponent of the protest. The police quickly intervened, separated the  participants and took all five of them to the station. A criminal  case has been initiated over the incident.
