It is an audacity and an attempt at manipulation, Tsarukyan has already been acquitted by the court in this case. Abovyan

It has nothing to do with politics; it is audacity and an attempt at manipulation, because Mr. Tsarukyan has already been acquitted by the court in this case. This was stated today, June 9, by the Secretary of the BHK parliamentary group Arman Abovyan during a conversation with journalists in the National Assembly, referring to the publication of materials related to the criminal case against Gagik Tsarukyan, who was convicted of gang rape in 1979.

It should be noted that Gagik Tsarukyan was acquitted 22 years after the incident, in 2001.

“We know very well that during the Soviet years, the militia used to put people in such situations to extort money. There is at least a minimum threshold of morality. One should not mix politics with personal matters. This shows the thesis that the fervor with which they are attacking BHK and Mr. Tsarukyan should be directed with the same zeal towards improving the socio-economic situation and stopping the disgraceful unemployment. After all, people are dying from the coronavirus; what are they busy with? A person must have morality to not go and bring up the ancient tales of old Gylnaz,” he said.
