We are now in front of the building of those who whimper under the walls, not in the residence of any representative of the Armenian judicial system: Anna Mkrtchyan

If we were in the courthouse yard, I might try to predict the judicial act, but Pashinyan killed the statehood of Armenia in 2018, infecting it with Nikolism. This was stated today, April 17, during a conversation with reporters in front of the courthouse by Anna Mkrtchyan, a member of the 'I Have Honor' faction of the National Assembly.

"We are now in front of the building of those who whimper under the walls, not in the residence of any representative of the Republic of Armenia's judicial system. I am glad they are creating this atmosphere of 'lawlessness,' because if now 80 percent of Armenia hates Nikol, then as a result of these actions, it will become 90 percent, and then eventually 100 percent," she noted.

According to her, the authorities are no longer satisfied with verdicts and political imprisonments: "They now must torture the citizens of Armenia. According to Mkrtchyan, 'never before has there been such a disgraceful incident involving a citizen of the Republic of Armenia with the complacency of the police.'

It should be noted that the court is currently examining the investigator's request for selecting a preventive measure of detention for Samvel Vardanyan, who was involved in the incident with the 2021 electoral candidate Hakob Aslanyan. Vardanyan has been charged not only with hooliganism but also with inciting hostility and intolerance on political grounds.

Recall that the lawyers of Samvel Vardanyan, who made offensive statements against Hakob Aslanyan on public transport, Ruben Melikyan and Varazdat Harutyunyan, stated that masked individuals forced Samvel to his knees, spat on him, and used sexual insults against him. The lawyers also claimed that the beating of Samvel had been premeditated, orchestrated by the ruling party.
