There are only four imprisoned billionaires in the world, two of whom are Armenian: Narek Karapetyan
Narek Karapetyan, coordinator of the "Our Way" movement, wrote on his Facebook page, "Let me say one thing – everyone will agree that Mikael Sargsyan could have remained silent and maintained his role in the ecclesiastical hierarchy without these kinds of sacrifices, as these sacrifices bring him no worldly benefit.
In conversational Armenian, it could be said that this person gained nothing from his protest, only hardship. But he spoke out because he could not remain silent.
We often think that our elite only care about wealth and comfort. But today we see that our leaders are willing to endure sacrifices for us, for the truth, and for the homeland.
There are only four imprisoned billionaires in the world, two of whom are Armenian. Both are imprisoned on national charges. This is proof that the Armenian people are still alive, still worthy of living, because their richest and most powerful sons are willing to make sacrifices for their people, for their land, and for their God.
Let us not feel disappointment in these times, but rather pride that there are still such individuals among us," he wrote.
