Clergyman-led protest movement demands prosecution of premier 

Clergyman-led protest movement demands prosecution of premier 

ArmInfo. The "Sacred Struggle" movement is holding a rally in front of the building of the  Prosecutor General's Office of Armenia.

Its participants have submitted reports to the supervisory authority  about violations committed by officials of the country, in  particular, by the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol  Pashinyan, demanding that he be brought to criminal responsibility.  The building of the Prosecutor General's Office itself is cordoned  off by reinforced police units.

The representative of the movement, poet Khachik Manukyan, noted that  for several years now, representatives of the ruling Civil Contract  party in Armenia have been committing crimes of varying severity.  "Now the time has come to transfer the issue to the legal field. It  is very important to understand whether the country's law enforcement  system will give action to these crimes or not. The people themselves  are demanding an answer from the Prosecutor General's Office on this  issue," Manukyan said, adding that the protest movement began with  the demand of the parents of the fallen soldiers.  However, as the  protester emphasized, there are no special expectations from the  supervisory body, since the head of the Prosecutor General's Office  Anna Vartapetyan has repeatedly stated that she periodically reports  on the investigation process to the Prime Minister personally. 

Therefore, Manukyan continued, she receives instructions from  Pashinyan himself. "The situation with the courts is no better, that  is, the entire judicial and legal system of the country is under the  control of Pashinyan, who has lost control over the situation and is  now only busy with bicycle rides," the representative of the movement  emphasized, noting at the same time that in any case, the existing  problem must be transferred to the legal field. 

"I believe that justice will prevail, even after the change of  power," Khachik Manukyan summarized.
