‘We will continue to expose the defamatory actions against Samvel Karapetyan and the Armenian Apostolic Church’ – Robert Amsterdam

American lawyer Robert Amsterdam has launched an Armenian-language Facebook page, where he regularly posts updates about the case of philanthropist and businessman Samvel Karapetyan, who was arrested in Armenia, and the campaign against the Armenian Apostolic Church.

“We are holding a series of meetings with selected US officials and representatives of the Armenian Diaspora active in Washington. In every capital we visit, we will continue to expose the defamatory actions directed against Samvel Karapetyan and the Armenian Apostolic Church.

✦ The Armenian government has imprisoned Mr. Karapetyan—one of the most respected businessmen in Armenia—on absurd and politically motivated charges.

✦ The authorities are discrediting the Armenian Apostolic Church by attacking the core pillars of faith and the national identity of the Armenian people,” the lawyer’s statement reads.
