Armenia`s economy casino-based bubble 

ArmInfo.Unfortunately, the entire law enforcement system in Armenia for many years did not serve  the state in a broad sense, nor the citizens, but were turned into bodyguards - especially the police. This was stated by the leader of the "Tavush for the Motherland" movement, Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan on June 3 in the courtyard of Church of St. Anne, summing up the day with his supporters.

At the same time, he expressed the conviction that all law  enforcement agencies should work to instill public trust, and not be  "just a cudgel for punishment in the hands of the authorities."

Galstanyan also noted that people serving especially in law  enforcement agencies are mired in debt because they have become  addicted to online games where bets are placed. The Archbishop noted  that this is due to the fact that this area is not really regulated  in the country. "The entire economy of Armenia is a big bubble,  because it relies on online casinos. The so-called Vivaro, which  supposedly pays taxes, but is corrupting our society," Galstanyan  noted, adding that these online casinos have made citizens dependent.  He admitted that this problem is of a global scale, but in Armenia it  is especially acute.

The Archbishop also did not rule out malicious intent in the actions  of the Armenian authorities, who do not properly regulate this area.  "Our society is degrading, in all directions. Why is this area not  regulated?  Maybe this is being done deliberately?" he added,  assuring that they have ideas for regulating this area.  He concluded  by calling for a gathering in St. Anne's courtyard at 10:30 a.m.  tomorrow, but did not divulge where he was going to go.

On June 3, members of the movement held a protest in front of the  building of the Investigative Committee of Armenia demanding that a  case be opened against those who beat Ashot Simonyan, Ashot  Harutyunyan, Arman Sargsyan, Karen Gevorkyan, Arsen Grigoryan and  their other supporters.
