A father & son are being held in the basement of the NSS, & their family members are not allowed to visit them. “Moreover, an elderly woman and her two daughters have been detained in the same case, while her 75-year-old husband has been placed under house arrest. This is psychological torture and blackmail. “The question now is: who is truly resorting to Asiatic, authoritarian & dirty methods?” Tigran Kocharyan emphasized. → In Pashinyan’s perception, he himself is the state: Beniamin Matevosyan Pashinyan identifies himself with the Republic of Armenia & its future, even though these are entirely different concepts. Citizens must clearly understand that this is a bid to rule Armenia forever. This way, it can always be claimed that today the target is, for example, Robert Kocharyan or Samvel Karapetyan, while tomorrow it may be someone else. But in every case, the same assertion will be made: that their rise to power or their actions are allegedly directed against Armenia’s independence.
