Narek Samsonyan describes his apprehension as political persecution
Speaking to reporters after release, Samsonyan said he was apprehended on suspicion of having illegal weapon.
“It is all very epic, I was apprehended on suspicion of having illegal weapon but I was brought to the department fighting against illegal drugs,” Samsonyan said, adding that Armenia’s PM Pashinyan will assume all the political responsibility with corresponding consequences.
It has been reported that earlier today, VETO initiative's founder and four members of the Adekvad party were apprehended on suspicion of possessing illegal weapon and using drugs.
Later Narek Samsonyan was apprehended too.
