We will achieve solidarity soon - Samvel Karapetyan 

ArmInfo.  What have the current Armenian authorities managed to do? This is the question posed by the president of the Tashir Group of Companies, businessman and  philanthropist Samvel Karapetyan, who is under arrest.

According to him, the authorities have managed to turn the political  field into a circus, and the National Assembly into a ring for  hand-to-hand fighting. "Unable to withstand objective criticism,  especially from such strong female politicians as Anna Grigoryan,  Kristine Vardanyan, Agnessa Khamosyan, Anna Mkrtchyan, Taguhi  Tovmasyan and others, a small group, without a single worthy  response, from time to time breaks down and rushes into hand-to-hand  combat with politicians who defend these women. I would like to  clarify who or what this "small group" is. This is the part of the  ruling Civil Contract party that does not know what education and  respect are, and which, at the first hint, is ready to trample on all  the values of the country and devalue our shrines. I am sure that in  this group there are also decent people for whom everything that is  happening, to put it mildly, is disgusting and unpleasant," the  entrepreneur noted. He advised not to be afraid, not to forget about  simple human values, not to become the curse of your nation.  "This  does not require much. You just need to gather courage and look your  people in the eyes to openly say: "I am Armenian." Soon we will  achieve public solidarity together. We will fight!", Samvel  Karapetyan emphasized.

Tashir Group President Samvel Karapetyan was arrested for two months  by a primary court ruling on June 18 on charges of publicly calling  for the seizure of power. The criminal case against him was opened  after he publicly spoke out in defense of the Armenian Apostolic  Church the day before.  Following the businessman's statement in  support of the AAC, R Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan published harsh  statements on social media, which many saw as a reference to the  businessman. He threatened to "bring the dissolute clergy to heel"  and their "dissolute benefactors."
