Has a Criminal Case Been Initiated Against Vazgen Manukyan?

Vazgen Manukyan has today received a notification indicating that on February 20, the Investigative Committee of Independent Armenia initiated a criminal case, making Vazgen Manukyan a defendant under a very well-known article: Article 300.1, which pertains to the overthrow of the constitutional order.

This was stated today, March 3, during a rally of the "Movement for the Salvation of the Homeland" on Baghramyan Avenue by HHD member Gegham Manukyan. "That article is also applicable to Ishkhan Saghatelyan; I believe it is applicable to me as well. The Investigative Committee of Independent Armenia presented charges against Vazgen Manukyan, the organizer of the first rally of the Karabakh movement on February 20, 1988, on February 20, 2021. Nothing is new; Vazgen Manukyan and others are accustomed to this; they are skilled and can send us 10 notifications," he said.
