“We will take part in defending the Church, our way.” Can you hear a call to seize power in that? Vardevanyan

Even within the ruling Civil Contract faction, no one has the slightest doubt that Samvel Karapetyan was arrested unlawfully. This was stated in the National Assembly by Aram Vardevanyan, Deputy Speaker of Parliament.

“Samvel Karapetyan said: ‘We will take part in defending the Church, our way.’ Your state legal investigative body, the Prosecutor’s Office, and later the courts, deemed this a call for the violent seizure of power. Can you imagine that? Now let me say it: we will take part in defending the Church, our way. Can you hear it, can you hear how that sounds like a call for the violent seizure of power?” Vardevanyan noted.
