It Would Be Appropriate for Vanetsyan to Arrest Pashinyan, Harutyunyan Says

If there were a legal process, Kocharian should have been released from the penal institution immediately after the Constitutional Court's decision or an extraordinary court session should have been held. This was stated today, September 17, during a conversation with reporters by Aram Harutyunyan, the president of the 'National Accord' party.

'The authorities have no regard for this legal process. If the authorities are blockading the courts and threatening judges, if the process begins to circumvent the Constitutional Court, then that is already outside the legal process. If there were a legal process, Kocharian should have been released from the penal institution immediately after the Constitutional Court's decision, or an extraordinary court session should have been held. We want a legal process, but its consequences are geopolitical. Collectively, will our people betray the memory of those who rest in Yerablur, or not?' Harutyunyan said.

He also referred to the statement made by former NSS Director Arthur Vanetsyan, saying, 'It would be appropriate if he managed to arrest Pashinyan. I call on the law enforcement agencies to arrest Nikol Pashinyan, as there is no other option. We have no right to wait to see what worse thing Nikol Pashinyan will do before we take further steps. Therefore, this process is very important, and we must understand that this is not an ordinary court ruling, and Anna Danibekyan is the 'Sose’s mother' of the 21st century judiciary.'

Harutyunyan noted that those responsible for the events of March 1 must be found, but not during the current administration's activities. 'Because during this administration, if we look, the main culprits are the instigators, namely Levon Ter-Petrosyan and Nikol Pashinyan. The same Shant Harutyunyan stated in his press conference, 'Nikol, what you promised has been placed on my shoulders.' Not to mention Levon Ter-Petrosyan's actions were a form of treason when you sit at home and lead the people to clash, and on the night of the first, you say, 'Live well, it was very good,' what was good about having 10 victims?'
