Criminal proceeding against Armenia’s third president Serzh Sargsyan may be an attempt to silence him: Prosperous Armenia lawmaker
Lawmaker from Prosperous Armenia faction Gevorg Petrosyan told the reporters that charge against Armenia’s third president Serzh Sargsyan followed his recent public speech at the EPP’s Congress in Zagreb.
He said it is an attempt to silence him.
“During it he voiced legal security issues and naturally the current authorities did not like it. But being a lawyer I cannot claim that the criminal proceeding against Serzh Sargsyan is agreed with exclusively political interests. It is not excluded but I do not have such information,” the lawmaker said.
Petrosyan said the authorities cannot feed the society with permanent shows and protracted trials and arrests as the people changed the power not to view shows but to live better.
